Search terms do not provide results

    Hello,

    I have a question regarding the search function. It does not seem to find all pages that contain a given word and the ajax search suggestion does not work for all terms.

    I though maybe this was something specific to my implementation, but I noticed this behavior also exists on your demo page. Take for example your portfolio page 'lowpoly-social', it contains the term 'iOS', but the search results do not display this page in the results when searching for 'iOS'. Also, the term 'Unlock' appears on this page as well, but when entered into the search field the results show 'no results found'.

    Please let me know if it's something I am doing wrong, a missing setting perhaps? This can be reproduced in IE, Chrome and Firefox.

    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Hey Andrew!

    The content in the extended content editor for the portfolio does not make its way into the search results since it's technically a custom metabox in WordPress and by default WordPress only searches items in the main editor. You can attempt to use a plugin such as http://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search/ to query for that extra content box though :)

    Thank you for the reply, you steered me down the right path. Better Search did not produce the results I was looking for, however a plugin called Search Everything appears to be working great.
