Search for CPT in admin shows Posts insteads

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I have a custom post type created by Types. When I visit the CPT dashboard and perform a search, I see results from another post type appear.

Solution: Disable custom code that is interfering with search.

When doing a search in admin for a CPT, I get no results, even if the searched word exist in some titles.
Instead, I get results from the normal Posts type.

Hello, I did a quick test in my local environment to try to reproduce this problem, but didn't have the same results. I suspect there could be some interference from a theme or other plugin. Can you try troubleshooting by deactivating all plugins except Types and activating a default theme like Twenty Twenty One? If you have any custom code active in Toolset > Settings > Custom Code, please temporarily deactivate those snippets during testing. If you want to activate a maintenance mode plugin during testing that should be okay.

If the problem is resolved, reactivate your theme, other plugins, and snippets one by one until the problem returns. Let me know the results of these tests and we can go from there.

I did the test disabling all other plugins, but forgot about the Toolset > Settings > Custom Code 🙁
It was a custom function that interfered with the search.

Thanks for the hint.
