Search box doesn't work in category page?

Hi Bigdragon,

From what you describe here, the problem may be a configuration one–the search box (referred to as the Quick Search) doesn’t automatically search ALL fields in the listing–that’s controlled under Directory Admin->Manage Options, General tab. You can select which ones it does use (using all is a bad idea, because this creates a DB query that many servers cannot handle). Try that first. If that doesn’t work, we need to know more.

For search issues, usually it’s best to understand how you did it. Can you tell me:
– What you searched for? (Screenshot of the form just before you search is really the best way)
– What you got back? (Again, a screenshot is best)
– What did you not see that you expected to see? (Links to specific listings are helpful here)
– Did you perform this search on the search widget, the Quick Search field, or the advanced search screen?

Knowing that will help us pin the issue down better.

Hi,

Thank you for your help. But this doesn’t work. The quick search is working on directory main page, but not in the category page one. I further testing with my site more and looks like this is a theme conflict or something because it does work when I’m change to Twenty Sixteen theme. Thanks anyway.

Sure, no problem.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or issues!
