 * Hi, i’m working on a new website and noticed that my entries are not found with
   the search engine on the website.
    Does anybody know how to fix or activate this?

 * It is not possible to integrate with the core WordPress search because it is 
   highly optimized for only searching WP pages/posts or Custom Post Types (CPT)
   if they are registered for search.
 * Connections does not use CPT for its data because the db schema for CPT’s are
   optimized for post-like data only. Connections uses a db schema optimized for
   directory content for performance and scalability. You’ll find that much larger
   plugins such as WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads have moved or are moving
   away from using CPT’s because using them are too inefficient for the custom data
   schema’s they require.
 * If you want search, you need one of the premium templates. If you want to have
   a search input on your home page, use the Search Widget which comes as part of
   the Widget Pack. You can place this widget in your theme’s sidebar so it shows
   up everywhere.
 * Hope that helps!
