 * functions.php
 * It works:
 *     ```
       function search_exclude($query)
       {
       if ($query->is_search)
       {
       $query->set('p','52');
       }
       return $query;
       }
       add_filter('pre_get_posts','search_exclude');
       ```
   
 * It doesn’t work:
 *     ```
       function search_exclude($query)
       {
       if ($query->is_search)
       {
       $query->set('p','52,53');
       }
       return $query;
       }
       add_filter('pre_get_posts','search_exclude');
       ```
   
 * If I’m doing something wrong?
