Search hasn't been fleshed out at this point. For now, you can enable it, but it will still search regular WP posts/pages. Put something like this in your theme's functions.php
function my_add_bbp_to_search( $post_type ) { $post_type['exclude_from_search'] = false; return $post_type; } add_filter( 'bbp_register_forum_post_type', 'my_add_search_to_bbp' ); add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'my_add_search_to_bbp' ); add_filter( 'bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'my_add_search_to_bbp' );
