   Hello all,

   I want to remove results from search.php based on a posts meta value.

   I have set up a "new WP_Query" but on the results page it just lists all the posts in the database.

   This is the code I am currently using - http://www.pastie.org/2106317

   Any help is much appreciated.

   Matt.

   A quick test on my local copy shows nothing with a custom parameter (as expected) - do all posts have that parameter?

   And some additional details and some code to help reach a solution:

   Sorry, save yourself from clicking, but what I ended up using based off the google group posting:

   // query for a given term ("search_term") in some given categories (7 and 8)
   $search_query = new WP_Query();
   $search_posts = $search_query->query('s=search_term&cat=7,8');
   // build loop
   foreach($search_posts as $search_post) {
           setup_postdata($search_post);
           // do stuff
   }
