Cannot get any search plugin to work
-
I feel this problem started once I added Polylang. However even when I deactivate Polylang, I still cannot find anything. I have shuffled with activating/ deactivating the following plugins: FiboSearch (specifically for products, not pages or blog), Better Search Replace, Ivory Search, Relevanssi and SearchWP Modal Search Form.
I had 2 that worked, one for products and one for the rest of the website. However, I feel once I activated Polylang it all went to hell. (I am not sure Polylang is the culprit though) Unfortunately I can’t remember which 2 they were and I cannot reproduce the situation.
I can’t remember which 2 worked fine together, I have tried all I could think of. But a simple product named ‘By the sea’ (2 items: a painting AND a fine art print) are completely unfindable! Worse: I have an artwork called ‘By the Brooke’ and when I search for ‘By the sea’ it only finds ‘By the Brooke’. Auch.
What I want: the old situation back, ha ha. So people can find anything and everything, products and blogs and pages. Hope someone can help me!

Not SOME selected plugin, but try deactivating ALL plugins, and temporarily switching to the default (Twenty*) theme.
If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.

If you can install plugins, install and activate “Health Check”: <a href=”https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/”>https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/</a> It will add some additional features under the menu item under Tools > Site Health. On its troubleshooting tab, you can Enable Troubleshooting Mode. This will disable all plugins, switch to a standard WordPress theme (if available), allow you to turn your plugins on and off and switch between themes, <strong>without affecting normal visitors to your site</strong>. This allows you to test for various compatibility issues. There’s a more detailed description about how to use the Health Check plugin and its Troubleshooting Mode at <a href=”https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/appendix/troubleshooting-using-the-health-check/”>https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/appendix/troubleshooting-using-the-health-check/</a>
