Reply To: Search doesn't work on global search only if category is selected

@ Celia

I took a look at your directory page. I suspect that you shortcode includes the category shortcode option. Is that correct? If so, when you search with a location, you are overriding the category shortcode option with the selected location category ID. So search for igor will only return a result when igor is within the selected category. To have igor display as a result without selecting a category which he has been assigned to you need to remove the category shortcode option. There is second, more complex solution. See this tutorial on how to override the category shortcode option when doing a keyword search for the details.

Hope this helps!
