 * I am using wp’s in built function to search my blog. When I do search it, it 
   will bring up blank results and then often it will bring up a number of the same
   results. It doesn’t do this for all searches, just for some of them.
 * Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

 * That link will take you to one of the searches I am talking about.
 * Many thanks

 * Right, I have figured it out. It required a rebuild of the search database.

 * Are you able to explain what you mean by rebuilding the search database? I am
   experiencing similar problems with a blog I maintain.
