 * This is a general behaviour of wordpress in the latest release. Search just returns
   incorrect or no information.
    1. Page search function – This returns various 
   pages but the page I am looking for does not show. 2. Menu search – Never works
   unless you type the exact page slug. Keywords are useless and it returns irrelevant
   pages.
 * Not sure what has happened to the search algorithm, but it seems like it is messed
   up. Happening on a whole bunch of sites especially if they are large. Sites with
   pages under 20 work fine. Anything more, WP starts to have issues. Anyone have
   any ideas?

 * What’s the URL of the site with the problem?
