I noticed my search results are not returning expected results.

Its not returning profile names in the search anymore when it used to. Also I have over 10 songs currently uploaded with the name George in the title from soundcloud, however only 1 song is returning in the site search results.

And what I was meant by "Expected Results" was expecting a return with results like this...

Maybe a bug or am I missing a configuration setting?
Thanks,

try "Rebuild the Search Index"
ACP -> LISTING -> SEARCH -> TOOLS -> REBUILD INDEX

Thanks for this thread. Our search stopped working for some reason. Did this and all good now. :)
A direct link for all ( Just change the yourwebsite to yours )
https://www.yourwebsite.com/search/rebuild

As I couldn't find Michaels breakdown in the ACP link
eg. ACP -> LISTING -> SEARCH -> TOOLS -> REBUILD INDEX

Just put the above url in with your website name and it will take you there

kev, long time no see :)

That path is the 5.3 path, so if you are still running the 5.2 core it could be a bit different.

ACP -> MODULES -> LISTING -> SEARCH -> TOOLS -> REBUILD INDEX

The MODULES is the default section when you go to the ACP so i left it out.

Just missed the LISTING section in the accordion menu
