   I'm using WP_Query to search posts but I can't find any mention of how to search by post title?

   The reason I'm using WP_query is because I am searching a custom_post_type and searching post_meta and a custom taxomony also. WP_Query can do all that except post name.

   The way I've done this in the past is to create a function hook attached to save_post that saves the title and content as hidden custom fields. Then you can just search the custom fields since WP_Query can't (to my knowledge...) search the title and content directly.

   Seems like there should be a less hacky way though.
