The search function doesn’t appear to be returning results for one of my weblogs. Also it doesn’t seem to pick up all the entries. Is there something that I need to do to ensure each weblog and entry is selected?
I am just using the basic search function from the user guide. I have also made sure that the weblogs I am searching are listed. What am I doing wrong?

Greetings,
Which version/build of EE are you using? Also, may we see an example of your template code that is not returning the desired results?

Hi There, my search bar which is on my main page has this code:
<table width="100%" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="10%"> </td>
<td width="90%">{exp:search:simple_form weblog="connect_events|connect_news" no_result_page="search/noresults"}
Search Connect:
<input type="text" name="keywords" id="keywords" value="" size="18" maxlength="100" />
<!--<a href="http://{path=search/index}">Advanced Search</a>-->
<input type="submit" value="submit" class="submit" /></p>
{/exp:search:simple_form}</td>
</tr>
</table>and the results page has this code:
<table class='breadcrumb' border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' width='99%'>
<tr>
<td><span class="defaultBold"> <a href="http://{homepage}">{site_name}</a> › <a href="http://{path=search/index}">{lang:search}</a> › {lang:search_results}</span></td>
<td align="center"></td>
<td align="right"></td>
</tr>
</table>
<span class="defaultBold">{lang:keywords} {exp:search:keywords}</span>
<span class="defaultBold">{lang:total_search_results} {exp:search:total_results}</span>
<div class='outerBorder'>
<div class='tablePad'>
<table border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="resultHead">{lang:title}</td>
<td class="resultHead">{lang:excerpt}</td>
<td class="resultHead">{lang:date}</td>
</tr>
{exp:search:search_results switch="resultRowOne|resultRowTwo"}
<tr>
<td class="{switch}" width="30%" valign="top"><b>
<a permalink=" class=">{title}</a></b></td>
<td class="{switch}" width="30%" valign="top">{excerpt}</td>
<td class="{switch}" width="10%" valign="top">{entry_date format="%m/%d/%y"}</td>
</tr>
{/exp:search:search_results}
</table>
{if paginate}
<div class='paginate'>
<span class='pagecount'>{page_count}</span> {paginate}
</div>
{/if}
</div>
</div>Also I am using ExpressionEngine v 1.6.4 and build 20080626

SFU Surrey, you’re missing one setting:

search_in="everywhere"#5 / Aug 14, 2008 8:54pm
Hi there,
where should I put the search_in=“everywhere”? I tried putting it in the search bar and it still is outputting the same results.
The problem seems that it is not searching one of my weblogs. But I have put both of them listed there.

You add that to the your existing tag like this:
{exp:search:simple_form weblog="connect_events|connect_news" search_in="everywhere" no_result_page="search/noresults"}Did you set up fields that are searchable for each weblog?
#7 / Aug 15, 2008 3:54pm
Yes. I have set the body tag of the weblog that isn’t returning results in the search to be searchable. However shouldn’t it automatically search the titles of the entries? It is currently searching the titles of one of the weblogs, but not the other.
#8 / Aug 17, 2008 12:18pm
With no search_in parameter it should just search titles by default- and it should be searching both of those weblogs. If you just put the one weblog it’s not searching in now for the weblog param- does it pull anything back from it? And triple check that the shortname is correct.
#9 / Aug 19, 2008 3:01pm
Yes I already tried that, but it did not turn up any results at all.

SFU Surrey, do you have a link we could see this at?
