Forum:Never any result in using the search box

Hi, I'm quite new to managing a wiki so I might be missing something here... Sorry if my problem is a rookie mistake :)

I've started a wiki with about 300+ articles for now. However, whenever I use the left side search box, it never returns any result.

For exemple, I have an article "New York (616)" http://marveluniversemap.wikia.com/wiki/New_York_(616)

If I type in the box: New York

the result page at http://marveluniversemap.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Search?search=new+york&go=1

will not list any result.

I've tried to check all the checkboxes in the namespaces list in my preference but with no better result.

I tried the search on another wikia to have a comparison base and the search box brings result if the search text is present either in the title or the body of an article.

Another point to note: in my preferences, I've checked the "search suggest" feature and if I type in "new york", I will have the suggestion pop up and clicking it brings me to the actual article.

I'm very puzzled here...

Is there something I need to initialize/configure regarding the search in my articles ? Or maybe something in the actual articles ?

thanks for any help, JB Digitalparanoid 22:43, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
