Still having same problem, if you hide categories is set to 0 wordpress should know not to show a 404 for those, kinda annoying. Searched all over and no real fixes to actually serve an empty category page.
And also isn’t searching category descriptions… Set all the options in backend and only searching posts. Running latest version of wordpress.
Doesn’t seem to be searching categories, I’m running the latest version and its not showing any results, does it actually search the name of categories?
