 * Hi team,
 * I was hoping to get your advice on a search issue we’re experiencing with one
   of the WordPress websites we manage, which uses the Flatsome theme and UX Builder.
 * The live search (while typing in the search bar – see [screenshot 1](https://imgur.com/sBmKg5M))
   appears to work correctly. However, when clicking the search icon (magnifying
   glass), the search results page displays “No products were found” – even for 
   products that appeared in the live search (see [screenshot 2](https://imgur.com/8uDbunO)).
   From what I’ve tested, this seems to happen only with certain products.
 * Ideally, we’d like those products to also appear on the full search results page.
   Is there a setting within the theme or UX Builder that we should check or tweak
   to fix this? If not, do you have any recommendations for improving or overriding
   this behavior?
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
