Search functionality acting weird

If you type in the search box “Placard” Each result is adding the string “rack placards” even though that isn’t the word searched and those pages don’t have that phrase on the pages themselves?

For me search didn’t work at all. So I had to revert until the issue is resolved.

Hello There,

I have checked your site and did a “placard” search in it. The results page displayed three post items. You can check out the following links in the secure note.

I taken a closer look in each links and I can confirm that the search results were displaying an excerpt coming only from the first item. This usually happen if you are using Pro Content editor to build the page. To resolve this, you must add a manual excerpts for each of the post items. Excerpts are optional hand-crafted summaries of your content that can be used in your theme. Learn more about manual excerpts.

By the way, Pro 2.1.2 is now available in automatic updates! This release contains fixes for several issues so be sure to check out the changelog (https://theme.co/changelog/). Please do update to the latest version. After doing the updates, always remember to clear all caches when updating so that the code from the latest release is always in use. This will help you to avoid any potential errors.

Please let us know how it goes.

The option for exceprts doesn’t even show up on the page? I looked in the screen options and it isn’t even an option to hide or unhide?

Hello There,

Sorry for the confusion. I did not look into those search result items. Those are pages and not as post. By default, pages does not have any manual excerpts. Well anyway, I can see that you have updated to the latest version and that the issue is now resolved.

Please check your site now.
