Include pages title and excerpt in search results

Hi,

It seems that the search feature does not cover pages in the same way as it cover posts.

I could not find any feature requests and maybe I am missing an important point why it is not done, but I think this may be useful.

Thanks !

I asked about this a while ago, and people ridiculously claimed that it did indeed search pages as well. The overall forum suggested that I must be at fault or it’s a problem with my installation.

It’s an oversight, but no one is acknowledging it. It’s been that way since the search feature came out.

That’s strange because the search box helper is quite explicit.
It says “Search posts, tags and authors”. It does not mention “pages” in that list and indeed it does not search in pages.

I’d love to hear ONE valid reason why searching pages poses a problem for the search tool. I really can’t believe we’re discussing this a year later with no results. +1 to common sense and site wide search.
