To reproduce it: create many subcategories, enough to force pagination. Here is my basic example:</p> <p>College<br /> - Arundel Community College<br /> - Salisbury University<br /> - .. 30 more colleges<br /> - .. 40 more universities</p> <p>If you search for a term that would show BOTH parent and subcategories (<strong>college</strong>), everything shows up fine.</p> <p>However, if you search for a term that would only force a list of subcategories to show without the parent (such as "<strong>university</strong>"), the display doesn't work and shows up with blanks.</p> <p>I looked through the code and found lines 64-65 in wp-admin/includes/template.php:</p> <pre><code>if ( $category-&gt;parent != $parent ) continue;</code></pre> <p>Disabling that snippet makes all of the results appear (albeit in very disorganized fashion). Pagination appears to always be wrong, showing 23 pages regardless of search granularity.</p> <p>I've tested this with:</p> <p>WordPress 2.7.1.<br /> PHP 5.2.5 / MySQL 5.0.45-community-nt<br /> PHP 5.2.8 / MySQL 5.0.67-community </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/242891#post-1045795 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 18:45:42 +0000 pp19dd 1045795@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I have also run into this situation. It appears to be a feature, rather than a defect; however, it is unexplained in documentation. I would like to find either some explanation -or- configuration options to change this behavior. It seems to be part of a search routine because main site search behaves that way.</p> <p>For example, I have four categories - but - hundreds of subcategories. If I search for <strong>"sports"</strong>, the main category "/sports/" shows up in search listings; however, if I search for <strong>"baseball"</strong>, the subcategory "/sports/baseball/" does not. This behavior is identical in the CMS.</p> <p>I don't think this is all that unusual - however - we appear to be the rare users of subcategories. Would appreciate anyone shedding light on this. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/242891#post-1010186 Mon, 09 Mar 2009 16:59:38 +0000 trex33 1010186@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>nellyy, I have not found a solution yet. Are we the only ones having this problem? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/242891#post-1005784 Thu, 05 Mar 2009 01:17:44 +0000 nellyy 1005784@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Yes, we are having exactly the same problem. Have you found a solution?? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/242891#post-983114 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 22:02:25 +0000 trex33 983114@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>In 2.7.1, admin panel search of subcategories is not returning any matches. Search of parent categories is working fine. Anyone else having this problem? </p>
