Same problem! Search function does'nt work with any words other than headlines.

Hej, AdvancedSearch only provides a better interface for the search. For most of its features it depends on the underlying Help:CirrusSearch extension. So please first make sure that CirrusSearch is setup and works.

Could you kindly explain how it works. I could not find it out

I have been using this for a year and suddenly the search function doesn't work.

For me the same problem. I have not understand the Cirrus extension. Christoph could you kindly explain

General issues with the search results or errors showing when executing a search, like stated above, are very most likely not related to AdvancedSearch.

If your wiki has CirrusSearch set up it might be related to issues there. Please ask the maintainers there then onExtension talk:CirrusSearch. Otherwise you might also find help on the more general help page for the search feature Help talk:Searching.

Information on how to install CirrusSearch on your wiki and set it up correctly can you find here: Extension:CirrusSearch
