Reply To: Regular engine not searching custom post types but is configured to do so

Hi!

Thank you for the details. Can you please add temporary FTP and admin details? I would like to debug the search query to see why the results are missing.

Try using the jQuery focus delayed by a bit. Something like this:

jQuery(function($){
  $('.search-open').on('click', function(){
    setTimeout(function(){
      $('input.orig').focus();
    }, 500);
  });
});

The modal may have a different focus setting on clicking, and this delay should do the trick.
