Hi!
Try to save the settings once again to make sure everything is updated correctly. You can even try to re-install the plugin, in case some file went missing.
If that does not help, then if you have an url where I can look at the search, then it may help a lot. Also, turning on the error reporting in your wp-config.php file might help with debugging the problem.
Hi !
I have the same problem. Search worked a few months ago. Had wordpress auto update on (plugins also) and never checked the search. Now always “No results” showing up. I search in title only. Any suggestions ?
Hello WPdreams,
Sorry for delay in reply..
Here is my URL : http://www.simplyhdmovies.com/
Let me know.

Hi!
Thank you both for the responses. I’m releasing a new version later today, or early tomorrow. I discovered and fixed a potential bug, that might have cause this issue. It’s related to incorrect category exclusion handling, which was thought to be fixed earlier.
If you both could make screenshots of each 5 tabs (general, image, layout, frontend, adanced options) of the plugin back-end, that might help me verify the issue.
Thank you!
Hi!
Thank you for the images, it looks like it was related to what I guessed.
Anyways, a new version had been uploaded just now. I’m hoping this will fix the problems for both of you. You should see a notification for plugin update in 12 hours on your dashboard.
In case it won’t work, I have implemented a new menu page to the plugin called “Help & Support”. If you open it up there is some information about support and a textarea containing debug information (configuration, latest query info)
You can share this debug information with me via http://paste.ee or other online copy service. (rather do not copy paste it here, it’s a kinda long string)
Let me know if the problem persists after the update.
It wont work; decoding the support base64 gives me the reason i think:
I searched for 11_20130823 but $words looks like:
…wp_posts.post_title LIKE ‘%11\\\\\\\\\\_20130823%’ )…
I assume there is a slight error in your $words array filling up the correct mysql query.
Btw. in my case assets should not have that trailing slash for which i get 404 not found errors.
…plugin_dir_url(__FILE__) . ‘/assets/tabs.css’)…
i changed ALL /assets to
…plugin_dir_url(__FILE__) . ‘assets/tabs.css’)…
which worked for me getting well formatted backend.
I just updated the plugin.. and wow… its working now.
Thanks wpdreams:):)
Thank you both for the feedback. I’m happy it works for alkesh_14 now, it was the category bug after all.
As for you petesky, thanks for the asset slash feedback, it’s indeed incorrect, my console does not report an error, but there are double slashes in the code. I’ll fix this very soon.
The other thing is more interesting. The serialization before the base64 encoding can add a few more slashes just for fun, I will check how the query acts if I try this on my test environment. I have no idea what puts so many slashes there, the keywords are escaped with a wordpress provided funtion. Altough I’m not sure if excessive slashing can cause query failure.
Is the same happening if you search for only parts of the number like “20130823” without the underscore? If that gives no results as well, then the problem might be something else (or something else as well).
If you want, you can link the debug string here, maybe I can find the problem there.
Thanks! I was actually able to re-create the problem and I found the solution as well 🙂
It was the too many slashes thing causing the problem. The reason is, that I made a typo in one of the files, where the keywords array is double escaped accidentally.
I fixed and uploaded the changes to the repository, but I didn’t make a new version out of it yet.
Please try deactivating, deleting and re-installing the plugin, that hopefully will work.
Or, if you want to fix it quickly manually, then open up the wp-content/plugins/ajax-search-lite/includes/search.class.php and go to line 95, which is:
$this->_s = $this->escape( array_unique( explode(" ", $this->s) ) );
and change that to:
$this->_s = $this->escape( array_unique( explode(" ", $keyword) ) );
..and thats it 🙂
Thank you for providing the information, it was very helpful!
Perfect – fix works like a charm 😉
Thanks a lot !
It’s good to hear everything is all right now 🙂
If you like the plugin, feel free to rate it anytime.
I mark this topic as resolved, if you have any other issues, just open another one.
