Never mind… it’s only the top Global section that Search Does not work. Going down down and selecting content checkbox and search and replacing works… just don’t leave the replace field blank. Doh
I am having the same issue, installed plugin, and it is not finding anything I search for including chunks of text I copy from an existing page, and paste into the search field.
I have a feeling that my site was initially hacked back in May. My regular backups stopped at this point for some reason, and I did not notice the lack of backups being sent to me. I will end up losing an enormous number of postings.
Thank you folks. I am talking to totalchoicehosting, and trying to get to the bottom of this. In the meantime, I’m changing all passwords, hardening my wordpress sites, all dozen of them. (yipes!)
