   I'm trying to customize my search results template and am having trouble with one detail. For all of the results I have it set to display the category and other misc details. This is great for posts, but I don't want to display that info for pages (i'm using a plugin to search both pages & posts).

   In the loop I need some kind of if/else statement to detect whether that item is a post or page. I've tried is_page() but that doesn't work. What is the correct syntax to use to detect whether the post_type is page or post?

   I've also tried this but it doesn't work:
   

   <?php if ($post_type = 'page') : ?>
   display this
   <?php else : ?>
   display something else
   <?php endif; ?>

   You tried is_page and it didn't work? You could go manual and check the post by id and pull that variable using wpdb->get_var
