 * I’ve been having a problem with the bbPress forum search — if I search for something
   like “paper” (mentioned often in the forum) my results come back as “Viewing 
   20 results – 1-20 of 20 total”– or if I set the visible topics and replies to
   30, I’ll get 30, etc. There are actually 174 results. If I disable the Private
   Forums plugin, I get all those results, 20 per page with pagination. Re-enabling
   it loses my total of 174 with pagination. I’ve disabled all plugins and re-enabled
   one by one, pretty sure the glitch is coming from Private Groups. Any advice 
   on how to get my search functioning properly again would be greatly appreciated—
   this is a great plug-in and site members depend upon it. Thank you!
