 * Search was working fine initially, but has now stopped. The first search performed
   typically just changes the sort order of my directory, the following search attempts
   will either do nothing or just skip over the first few people in the directory–
   no search request actually pulls up the results it is intended to.
 * For example, if I run a First Name Search for Colleen (as i know there is a Colleen
   on page 2) it just gives me everyone in my directory, sorted by First Name instead
   of displaying only users with ‘Colleen’ as their first name. I have replicated
   the page so that I can work on the search issues without having it accessible
   to site users – [http://www.lawrencewoodmere.org/directorysearchnotworking/](http://www.lawrencewoodmere.org/directorysearchnotworking/)

 * OK, so I first need more information on what plugins you are using exactly and
   what versions. It appears you are using our paid Simple Grid plugin… I’ll also
   assume you are using our paid version of Simple Intranet? Note, we do support
   for paid customers via our simpleintranet.org/support page please, not here.
 * Please do send me the exact shortcode you are using, the version of WordPress,
   the versions of each of the plugins you are using and I’ll help from there. Note,
   you will need to deactivate the free Simple Intranet Directory and use our paid
   Simple Intranet plugin for extended functionality…
