    I have a CPT for Faqs setup. It contains 80 Faqs. If I use these Faq Searh box on the top right it returns no results. It does work on other CPTs and I just cant figure out why it doesn't work on this CPT. The CPT is set to use the title so it should use the title for the search check.

    I do have relationships setup for this CPT and admin columns too.

    Hello,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    Can you please export the CPT to a JSON file and share it here with a full-screen record of the issue? I will import the CPT to my site and recheck the issue.

    Hello,

    I don't see any issue with the search feature after importing FAQ CPT to my site. Maybe the search query is affected by a third-party plugin or a custom code somewhere else.

    You can try to deactivate all plugins except Meta Box plugins, switch to a WordPress theme and recheck the issue.
