What to check if search doesn’t return the correct results

The theme looks for properties by their title and slugs (in order to work in multiple languages).
That is why it’s extremely important that for search to work titles and slugs match. 
Please be sure you follow these instructions when you ADD or EDIT new property category. This applies to new or edited CATEGORIES, ACTIONS, CITIES, AREAS, and STATES.
  • 1. Add a new category. Type Name
  • 2. LET WORDPRESS CREATE THE SLUG (title and slugs must always match for search results to be accurate).  This way search will work with pins correctly.
