Search function not working

[Bellarine]

I don't know what's happened but none of the items I test search for are showing up anymore  

www.sensoryconnect.com.au

I tried using the word oil as there are a number of oil timers on there and they used to work but now nothing. Same for everything else I tried.

The only time it has worked is when I went back in and edited a product then resaved and published. But I don't want to do that to over 600 products

Please help ASAP!

I'm having trouble with my search too.  Came across this thread after searching for help.

My search isn't in relation to products, but instead it's a general search that I'd like to pick up on keywords on various pages to create a filter.  E.g. we are a music agency, so each artist has a page that lists their genre, setup, etc.  I created a search bar so people could search for 'soloist' or 'acoustic' etc., but for some reason, only certain words are working in the search.  The word 'duo' isnt giving any results despite one of our pages actually being CALLED 'folk duo' and featuring the word duo several times in the text on the page.

Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

The website is: www.musicorum.co.uk

This is what I see when I search for "duo" @samlyonmusic

Can you post a screenshot of what you see on your end? 

[samlyonmusic]

It seems to be working now!  Perhaps it takes 24 hours or so to update everything properly as I tried it multiple times even a few hours after and it was just coming up saying 'No results', but now I'm getting the same results as you, so looks like all is well

[Bernadette3]

Glad to hear it's working for you.

Hi Could I get another re-index of the site www.sensoryconnect.com.au please? adding new products and not showing up. Reindex should fix that

Cheers

Not a problem, @Bellarine. I've started a re-index for you!

[Bellarine]

Hey Adam

It's still playing up, can you do another re-index please? Sorry for the hassle !

Cheers

Ewan

[Adam7]

Not a hassle at all! I started another re-index.

Hello

The search bar on my blog page is not working. Is there any way I can get help from here?

Thanks!

[Bernadette3]

Thanks for posting your site @annandann Can you give us an example of a term you are searching? 

[annandann]

Hello @Bernadette 

Thank you so much for replying super fast. 

I would like to let people be able to search for a specific place such as Prague, which is one of the blog titles I have but it doesn't show up when I type Prague in the search bar. 

Thanksx

[Bernadette3]

Hi and you're welcome. Do we have permission to publish the site if needed? 

[annandann]

Hello Bernadette

Do you mean publish to see if the change of the search bar works? 

Yes, of course. 

Thank youxx

[Bernadette3]

Hi @annandann It looks like the page is hidden from search engines. This will also block content from showing in the search results. You will need to unhide and publish in order for it to work.

[annandann]

Hello @Bernadette 

Thank you for your help. However, after I unticked the box, published and waited for a few days, it still doesn't seem to work. Is there any possibility that it is not working? 

Thank you

[Adam7]

I started a re-index of your site from our end, @annandann. Once that completes your search should return blog posts, I think.

[annandann]

Hello @Adam 

Thank you very much, some of the keywords are finally working now. However, some of them still doesn't work, such as Beach or Prague are still not working, is there any possible reason why some work and some don't? 

Thank you!

[Bernadette3]

Sorry to hear you are still having trouble with this. 😕 What is an example of a keyword that is working? 

[AndyMitchell]

Hi, the search function on my site is no longer working: www.scottishsporthistory.com  The site has been going for several years so there is a mass of content.

Are you able to re-index the site?

Thanks, Andy

[Bernadette3]

I just initiated the reindex. I believe the time frame is 72 hours, but it usually happens much quicker than that. 

[AndyMitchell]

Great, many thanks. It was more like 72 seconds, not hours! Working already.
