Hi

The search functionality works only with finding author. It returns empty when seraching for an article title. The Advanced Filters do not work either.

Really appreciate your help.

What errors are you seeing when you search? (You could also send a link to your site, if that’s feasbile, too)

Hi @firas2010,

Yes - I looked at your site and I see what you mean. The two things I would suggest at this point would be to rebuild your search index:

Done by running php tools/rebuildSearchIndex.php

Check your PHP error logs for any relevant errors found there.
