 * Hi [@vicsumner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vicsumner/),
 * You don’t actually need to create keywords. The search keyword function works
   by looking for matching content in events’ title and events’ main content.
 * I hope this helps.
 * Cheers,
    Jeremy

 * Hi Jeremy,
 * Ok, so the keyword search function is working but it only searches within the
   current month. Can it search within all months?

 * Hi [@vicsumner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vicsumner/),
 * It depends on which view you are using. Indeed, if you’re using the Month view(
   calendar view), the search function only searches within the current month. However,
   if you switch to the list view, it will search within all months (please refer
   to our demo website: [https://wpshindig.com/events](https://wpshindig.com/events)).
 * Cheers,
    Jeremy

   as resolved. Don’t hesitate to reopen or create a new topic if you still need
   help! 😄
