 * Hi Anders,
 * the search function you provided for the footer in the Abisko theme seems not
   to word. If I search for it, the tags will not be found. Is there a way to customize
   it oder is it a bug?
 * Best

 * Hi [@marcobutz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcobutz/),
 * By default, WordPress only searches in the title and content of a post – not 
   the tags, categories, authors etc. associated with it. To make WordPress search
   for those, you have to install a plugin.

 * [@anlino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anlino/) Thank you very much. okay.
 * But how about if I click on the category the post is tagged. If I click, the 
   corresponding posts are not summarized and displayed.
 * Can you please clarify?

 * [@anlino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anlino/) to the first issue with
   the search box: It even does not search headlines in my site. So there might 
   be another issue. Could you please help? The search function is part of a pattern
   for footer.
 * Thx
 * The category tags under a single post does also not function. Is there something
   wrong with my installation?

 * Hi [@marcobutz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcobutz/),
 * It sounds like you might have an issue with the Loop template part in your installation.
   By default, the Query Loop block in it is set to “Inherit query from template”,
   in which case it displays the posts you would expect when you’re on a search 
   page or archive page ([see the demo site](https://andersnoren.se/themes/abisko/category/trips/)).
   If it’s unchecked, it will be display the same posts on all archive pages.
