Search trouble

[HanneTBH]

I’m having a bit of trouble with the search function on my site – this started after I updated to the newest version of the theme. What happens is that when I start typing in something to search for, it immediately says “no results”. However, if I press enter and do the search anyway, the search results are returned as they should. So it is just a matter of removing the “no results”-comment from below the search field as one searches. Can you help?

Hi,

What is the URL/login for the site you mention?

1) You ajax looks to not be returning results correctly, please open your wp-config.php file and add this: define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

2) You can also disable the Header Ajax Search, this will stop ajax and the form will be a standard search form: Theme Options => Header Options => Header Search => Standard Search (No AjAX)

Sorry about the delay in replying! I have finally had help adding the above to the php file, but it doesn’t seem to help. I would love to keep the ajax function if possible – is there anything else I can do to fix the problem?

Hi,

You can submit a paid customisation request: http://www.swiftideas.com/customization/ or look to work with a 3rd party developer:

But isn’t this something that is a part of the theme and should be working? Or is the ajax search part of one of the plugins or something? It used to work until I updated the theme…?

So sorry, I misread and thought you were looking to modify the output. Face palm.

I’ll take a closer look now.

Haha, thanks! 🙂

Hi,

Can you now test your search again?

Initially, your search returns no results, ever from what I could see.

[HanneTBH]

It appears to be working now! 🙂
(It looks a little bit funny, though – the little box in which the ajax results are displayed as I input the text cuts straight through the middle of words and sentences – but that’s maybe just how it is?)

Can you screenshot that to confirm what you see?

Here’s an example:

Please can you add this CSS:

.search-result .search-item-content em {
    word-break: break-word;
    overflow: hidden;
    white-space: normal;
}

That should sort the overflow issue!

That fixed it! Thank you!
