# Search terms erroneously returning zero posts

 * I am encountering the exact same issue as [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/search-terms-erroneously-returning-zero-posts?replies=6](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/search-terms-erroneously-returning-zero-posts?replies=6).
   It is on Multisite. I have activated both for the individual site and network
   wide, deactivated/reactivated, etc. When I look at the relevanssi db table I 
   can see the search terms, I see it in the logs, the db looks ok however it does
   not show up on the search results page.
 * I tried var_dumping everything I could find listed in other helpful posts, but
   it always resulted in an empty array.
 * I also tried both logged in and out with the same results. Multiple browsers 
   to catch and caching

 * First of all – if you have a Premium subscription, you should really be using
   Premium support.
 * If you don’t have Relevanssi Premium, well, multisite searching is a Premium 
   feature. The free version does not work on multisite (you can probably install
   it for one individual site and have it work, but multisite searches or multiple
   individual installations are not possible).

 * Thanks Mikko. I do not have Premium currently, but I am attempting to get the
   client to purchase it.
 * The index is being built just fine, it is the actual results that are not working
   properly. Any ideas on that?

 * Sorry, multisite install and free Relevanssi is a combo I won’t support, as it’s
   not even meant to work.
