Solved: 13 Years, 2 Months, 1 Week ago 2011-11-13, 03:56 AM
When my users utilize the quick search form on the homepage it returns no results, but searching for the same thing through the advanced search does the trick.

How can I fix this problem, as most would rather use the quick search.

Thanks

You probably haven't any thing in the "action". Could you please paste the entire code of your search box?

No, I meant the code of your Quick search box.
