 * Hey Advanced Ads team and friends. The search function within the WP admin for
   Advanced Ads doesn’t appear to be working at all. Even searching for exact word
   matches doesn’t display any results.

 * HI legendshill,
 * Thanks for reaching out.
 * Your screenshots are not showing your WordPress backend. Please [check your browser’s development console](https://wordpress.org/support/article/using-your-browser-to-diagnose-javascript-errors/)
   for error messages while trying the search function. These messages might point
   to the origin of the issue.
 * Please notify me about these messages if the issue persists.
 * Best regards,
    Henning

 * Hey [@henningaa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/henningaa/) – sorry, I’m
   not sure how that happened. The development console is not showing any errors
   when searching on the backend. Here are the fixed screenshots:

 * Hi legendshill,
 * Thanks for the reply.
 * I tried to reproduce the behavior without any luck.
 * Can you please try this also while deactivating all other plugins on your website,
   or using the [Health Check plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
   to simulate this?
 * Please try this with a different browser as well.
 * Best regards,
    Henning
