Ok, found the problem. Had some code inside functions.php (from a previous project) messing with the search query..

// Extend search to include pages and posts
function wp_search_filter( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_search ) {
        $query->set( 'post_type', array('post','page') );
    }
    return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts','wp_search_filter');

Removed it, and now everything is working as expected! Happy times! 😀

Thanks again James for pointing me in the right direction. Cheers!
