Forum search broken – no results showing

#1 · November 30, 2025, 12:08 pm

Thanks for making a wonderful free forum plugin. I have found and read some old posts here about on the topic of ‘search broken’, and yeah I am having similar or even more trouble. I have a your latest plugin, WP 6.8.3 and PHP 8.1.33, and SQL 11.4.9-MariaDB-ubu2404.

On November 27th (UTC -6), I made two posts containing the word PLUS in the title (heading) and in the contents (body) of the two posts. The posts open and display themselves fine when I directly click on their links. But when I search plus or PLUS in the forum search box (not WP) I get nothing. The search facility works a little bit, hit and miss, with other keywords at random. I have no idea why. I attached screenshots for clarity.

What are you suggestions to solve this?
