# Search terms erroneously returning zero posts

 * When searching for terms that I know are present (looking for a certain article,
   for example,) Relevanssi will return no results when it shouldn’t.
 * For example, if you search my site [Automoblog.net](http://www.automoblog.net/)
   for “Egoista” (the new Lamborghini Concept, it comes back with “We’re sorry, 
   but no results were found.”
 * But here’s an article about the Egoista: [http://www.automoblog.net/2013/05/12/lamborghini-egoista/](http://www.automoblog.net/2013/05/12/lamborghini-egoista/)
 * If you search “Lamborghini Egoista” it pulls results, but not the article about
   that car.
 * There are other examples as well, it seems like Relevanssi is picking random 
   articles not to index.
 * Thanks for any help.

 * No, I disabled Relevanssi since I wasn’t getting any replies.

 * Why was this marked as resolved? Has a fix been found? I am encountering the 
   exact same issue. 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

   please [post your own topic](http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/relevanssi#postform).

 * I do not understand why so many duplicate threads are opened, but fair enough.
   I started a new thread

 * I marked this resolved, as the original poster had solved the problem by disabling
   Relevanssi.

 * The problem never was resolved, and I agree with Ben – there’s no reason to open
   multiple topics for the same issue.
