Searching for a pages returns posts.

I have a page wholesale title is "Wholesale home page"

I go over to the pages tab, I can see that page on page 2 of the pages list. I search for "wholesale" in the search box, press the "search pages" button..

and that page whose title is "Wholesale home page" does not come up. In fact the results that come up are all POSTS.

Thanks for the ticket, Dan.

Can you reproduce this issue with all of your plugins deactivated and one of WordPress' default themes (such as Twenty Fifteen) enabled?

Seems like it's an issue with the theme. So you can close the ticket. Just so I understand. I have a custom search.php page in my theme. I didn't think that would effect admin search. But it appears to do so. Am i correct in this assumption.

Then I would like to make this a feature question. Admin search should not be effected by your themes search. Admin search should do what it says it's going to do.

Thanks for the feedback.

A custom search.php in your theme shouldn't affect the admin area because this file doesn't get loaded in the admin area. Your theme's functions.php file does load in the admin area though, so I suspect this may be the cause of your problem if it's making unbounded changes to the search results query.
