Hi,
Can anyone tell me why I get 'no results' when searching for 'related posts' for my blog pages. At first I thought nothing of it but I get 'no results' for 'nokia mobile' which is crazy, there must be zillions of posts for this search string. What am I missing?
Would really appreciat some input here as I have looked all over the forums and cannot find the answer.

Where are you searching from? Your blog? Or something like Google?

Its when I am creating pages or posts within wordpress. Going into 'pages' for example then to 'edit page' you are able to add text, pictures and so on. As you scroll down, under 'seo all in one pack' (if installed) there is the opportunity to pull in relevant posts from the blogosphere. Setting number of posts to the maximum 20, also number of characters to say 200 and sorting to 'relevance' the keyword 'nokia phones' produces 'no results'.
How can that be? When I try other obviously popular search strings I get the same 'no results'.
Single keywords get results, it seems that phrase type searches do not is this normal for WP?
Thanks for the quick reply by the way hope you can throw some light on this for me.
Haven't used that plugin is but it's entirely possible that it can't search on phrases. You might want to try putting phrases inside double quotes (eg "nokia phones") but don't be surprised if that doesn't work either. It might be asking just a little too much of a plugin that does do a lot of other things as well.

Sorted,
I found that if I input the keywords without spaces it works fine
ie...nokiaphones not nokia phones
thanks for the input
cheers
