This is the most awesome plugin you will ever utilize.
There is an option
Events Manager > Settings
[Pages] Tab
Under the heading “Events Lists / Archives”
Include in WordPress Searches? Yes No
Allow events to appear in the built-in search results.

Thanks guys,
Very generous support and advice on here.
Have fired up this plugin – very comprehensive.
It’s a tossup between Ajax Event Calendar (very smart styling, and supremely easy for client to drive) – and this one.
Cheers.

Hmm – a P.S.
All configured correctly – but in fact it doesn’t return results
in standard site search . . back to Ajax Events Calendar !
For those interested, Settings > Pages > Events List > includie in wp searches.
zondar – if you return… could you post back I’d like to help you get this up and running. ( I don’t work for Marcus or Events-Manager but I’ve done some pretty extensive custom modding to my own copy of it – so I have a decent understanding of the pitfalls in getting it running)
IMPORTANT: Its very possible you selected to turn on the events search instead of including in wordpress searches
Are you sure that you did not select this option by mistake?
Show events search? Yes No
This will only add a search box above your events listings page.
What you need to check is this instead:
Include in WordPress Searches? Yes No
Allow events to appear in the built-in search results.
First a few questions…
Did you have a previous version of Events-Manager setup?
Or was this your first install of the plugin
When you go to “Events Manager” (on the WordPress left nav)
Click on Events
How many events do you see?
Are you able to see any events on your site at all?
Under “Events Manager” > Settings > [PAGES] tab
For “Events Page” … what do you have selected in the dropdown box?
And does this page exist for sure?
…… okay that should be enough questions to start a basic troubleshooting
Seriously stick with it – lets get this figured out for you – you won’t be sorry. Marcus is definitely one of the MOST RESPONSIVE developers on his plugin. He goes out of his way all the time to help people get things right.

Thanks guys – and please see acknowledgement* below.
All sorted – it was a conflict with that excellent plugin
‘Search Everything’ – normally a bulletproof item.
In the Search Everything settings, entering ANY category to [exclude-from-search] caused a site search for an Events Manager string to return ‘No result’.
All other site functions still OK . . hmmm.
INTERESTING – the level of support for some free plugins far exceeds some commercial ones. Code Canyon and Envato being a case in point – bought from them very poorly designed product.
Support slow or non-existent – then refused a refund even with an API-locked plugin !
Envato product also included references to tracking code.
p.s. With over 30 sites built, we would have ploughed through 300+ plugins to arrive at a standard set of robust plugins for all new clients – saves reinventing the wheel.
Thanks again – very impressive support.
