Why doesn't the Search function work on my store?

[rubyyin]

Hi,

First, I need to say, I have been searched all threads here, and I have tried to find the problem in many ways, but still doesn't work. This is my first post here. I Think this website is very helpful since I have found tons of answers. Thanks for those who have devoted your times and intelligences.

As the title, I really have no clue . The circumstance has been the same...no product that matches..... Doesn't matter what key words I search. The other things are:

1. I tried to look up the Collation in the database, they are all in utf8_general_ci is correct.
2. I don't have SEO tool installed in my store.
3. I tried to switch 3 other templates. (The search results are same)
4. I manually added products to my store.( not through Easy Populate)
5. Multiple Categories Link Manager is installed, and I did "Reset ALL Products Master Categories ID" first, then "Update ALL Products Price Sorter" in Store Manager.

Unfortunately, the search result still comes the same. I gratefully appreciate if someone would help me out.

(Zen Cart v1.5.1)

Thanks again,

Ruby

Have you tried replacing the includes/index_filters/default_filter.php with the core file?
Also check you includes/modules/pages/index/ files

Thanks for responding,

I did not replace the includes/index_filters/default_filter.php.
And there are header_php.php, jscript_easySlider.php and main_template_vars.php under includes/modules/pages/index/

How do I check them?

So this is a stock Zen Cart install?

Can you post a link so we can see the site?

Has someone been installing or uninstalling modules recently?


Look at the actual search files doing the searching:

includes/modules/pages/advanced_search/header_php.php

includes/modules/pages/advanced_search_result/header_php.php

or perhaps...

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_advanced_search_default.php

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_advanced_search_result_default.php

My store was installed through my host company. I did the installation, and the modules have been installed since then. But I did a lot of editing (only customizing the Look and installing some add-ons).

Sorry, I think there is a problem with the host company. I will get back to you as soon my website is back.

Seems to be back up now.
BUT Its dead slowwww. Timing out sometimes
Tried searching for cars and it seems to work!
Have you fixed something or it is still not working for you?

I am here to apologize again, my website is still not working since my domain has been transfered last night. To whom who are trying to help me here, need to let you know that I am working on it...(I am encounting a big problem along with transfering my store to a new host). I will get back and inform you all as soon as my store is restored.

I just got my website back now(whew!)

My search result still comes up nothing but Advanced Search.
