Job Board Search Field Not Working Correctly

[akrakar_hope]

Hi, I’m having a problem with the search field on my job board. Say I have a listing called “Job Coach”, for example. If I enter “job” in the search field, the job appears in the search result. However, if I enter “coach” or “job coach”, the job isn’t in the search result. Do you have any idea what could be causing this partial functionality of the search feature?

Hi, after I’ve upgraded from 1.20.1 to early version (till to 1.21.3) the job search didn’t works on post’s titles and content but only on few postmetas like company name and job location. Please fix the search engine to look also on titles and contents.
I’ve tested to a new installation installing the v.1.20.1 and the search engine works regularly.

The ‘keyword’ field searches post_title and post_content – are you certain no other plugins are affecting this?

Hi Mike, I’ve a demo installation with jobify and demo content untouched that I use to test upgrades, without any other plugins, and with the last version of wp job manager the search form retrieve data matching only in _job_location and company_name, with the 1.20 version it retrieve data matching also with post content and post title.

What about with a default theme, or latest jobify? You can see it searching post title right here https://demo.wpjobmanager.com/find-a-job/?search_keywords=product%20designer

Hi,
I’ve tried both on your link than in my local installation using Twenty Fifteen theme but in local environment does it seems the some search work and other not.
Jobify has been purchased from Themeforest, but now I’m testing with stock wp theme.

I’ll have a 1.21.4 update out shortly with some improvements. I have found the issue.
