Search result

hi everyone,
I have this issue and need help urgently(p.n am quite new to WordPress). I have search pressed forum for similar issues but didn’t find a solution. I have created a post type called location and the taxonomy locations (pardon my ignorance for putting the same name for both taxonomy n post type) and I’ve added the shortcode on my home page which shows the drop down form. I created 3 terms under the location taxonomy. but when I search for one of the terms I I receive a not found message. I noticed that it displays the result page but not the search result. i then tempered with some things and it began showing me the same result for every term I select. I want the search to display different results for each term I search for. pls could you help me. hope am clear enough. would have posted link but its still in localhost. thanks on advance.
