A specific search worked for a moment, and now it doesn't
-
Hiya.
So I added Relevanssi today and did a search for my own name (I wanted to see if my Ultimate Member profile came up, as user profiles will be a main search on my site). I got no results at first (which is odd, since even posts written by me didn’t appear), but then I realized I hadn’t ticked off the relevant index options for Ultimate Member.
So I ticked off all the items related to Ultimate Member, and hit Save (or rather “Save Indexing options, erase index and build index”, as that was the next save option), and then searched for my name again. I got results! Posts by me, posts mentioning me, and my Ultimate Member user profile was listed first. Awesome.
But then I many of the entries were followed by excerpts, that had stuff like field labels and such jumbled together. It looked bad. So I looked at the settings to see if there was anything to get rid of this. I noticed the setting “Create custom search result snippets” was checked. Figuring this had something to do with it, I unchecked it and saved again.
When I searched for my name, I got no results again. Puzzled, I went back into the settings and checked that box again and saved. But when I went and searched my name…STILL no results. Now no matter what I do, my name search shows NO results.
Some searches for other stuff appears, but individual user profiles no longer do (only the directory page shows — again with weird excerpt, which is names followed by “approved” each time).
I don’t know why my name search briefly showed results (including my profile), and now all of the sudden it doesn’t. I just made that one change, and then changed it right back — and it’s like I’ve disappeared from the site (as far as search goes). And now profile search in general is broken.
What gives? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
