# Search a post by its slug — WordPress

Botize method — `wp.search_post` (action).

Allows you to search for an entry based on the slug and the type of entry (Public, Draft, Private, etc).

This is an action: it runs as a step of a task. Several can be chained.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

- `mb_switch` *(boolean)* — Rules
- `slug` *(string)* — Slug
- `wp_status` *(string, one of: "publish" = Publish; "future" = Future; "draft" = Draft; "pending" = Pending; "private" = Private)* — Status
- `context` *(string, one of: "" = Extract the entry for viewing; "edit" = Extract the entry for editing)* — Context

It also accepts repeatable field groups, with these prefixes: `mb_filters_*`. These are composite components (buttons, filters, keyboards); the trailing number is set by the user as they are added.

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{post_id}}` *(int)* — Post Id
- `{{post_url}}` *(text)* — Post URL
- `{{post_title}}` *(text)* — Post Title
- `{{post_content}}` *(text)* — Post Content
- `{{excerpt}}` *(text)* — Excerpt
