Limit Search Results to Custom Post Type?

How would you go about searching only two specific custom post types?

@bgajus code worked easily for one post type

<input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="one" />

but then if I tried to search two specific types

`<input type=”hidden” name=”post_type” value=”one, two” />’

did not work for either.

Wow, what a useful piece of info. Thank you!

Regarding multiple posts types, it seems that the WP_Query object can handle the ‘post_type’ parameter as an array. Therefore, it seems logical to me that if you were to pass a form array for post_type input name, it would work. I’m not in a position to test this right now, but would the following work?:

<input type="hidden" name="post_type[]" value="post_type_one" />
<input type="hidden" name="post_type[]" value="post_type_two" />
<input type="hidden" name="post_type[]" value="post_type_three" />

Hope that’s useful.
