Hiya,
When you do a search, are you typing in the search term?
Could you share a link to your site so we can test it please?
Thanks,
Phil
Hi Phil,
I am only searching words as the user would when using the site. We currently have a holding page up so I have added a link with a subscriber log in so you can take a look:

Username: FionaP
Password: Test 123
I just want users to be able to search for event tags, categories and also words in the events if possible like an actors name for example
Unfortunately the user/pass you supplied doesn’t work.
Thanks
It should, I have double checked it on another machine, are you copying the Caps and spaces?
I’m logged but I’m not seeing the problem – I searched for weekend and saw the Le Weekend event listed in the results. What are you seeing?
Thanks for checking. My issue is that if you type in a tag for an event such as ‘Kids Shows’ nothing appears and I know that the event ‘Little Howard’s Big Show For Kids’ is tagged as a Kids Shows.
So it seems to only be searching in the categories?
Hiya,
Yep, I believe this is because tags aren’t searchable I’m afraid.
Thanks
Tags added to events? Is there a way around this as if you type in the name of an actor the search will find films so it must be searching through the text right?
One of my events is a film called Ponyo and when I type that in the search it cannot find it?
Is that the name of the event?
The event title should certainly trigger results, so perhaps something is interfering with the search functionality.
Are you using any caching? If so, try clearing it and performing the search again.
If not, try disabling all other plugins and switching to the default theme to see if the search works then.
Thanks
