Search by Keyword via front end vs Edit View

[veruska]

When I search an event for a given word, let’s say the name of a restaurant or just a word in the event description, the search field in the front end doesn’t return as much as if I use the search field on the Edit View. Why does it happen and what do I need to do to prevent that from happening. There was an instance today where the front end returned 1 event while on the Edit view not only I found the event I was looking for but also several more.

Hi veruska,

I’m sorry to hear you’re hitting problems.

Can you give me a concrete example so I can offer you more guidance? If I visit your site what sort of keywords would generate the kind of limited results you are describing (and can you also link me to a couple of the events you would expect to see that are absent in these cases)?

Thanks!

The word was “Carol” and the front end showed only this:
http://portal.brasileirinho.com/evento/cat-fight-extended/
However, I was looking for this one:
http://portal.brasileirinho.com/evento/festival-sabores-de-pernambuco-em-miami-dias-9-e-10-de-maio/

I guess I already figured out why: it won’t show past events.

However, I have 3 events of a singer named Roberto Carlos. None of them appear in the results, and they are upcoming events:
http://portal.brasileirinho.com/evento/roberto-carlos-projeto-emocoes/
http://portal.brasileirinho.com/evento/roberto-carlos/
http://portal.brasileirinho.com/evento/roberto-carlos-2/

OK. Could it be that you’re testing this in the default view (map view) but those particular events are not bound to venues with geographic information attached to them?

If I perform the same search in list view for instance:

portal.brasileirinho.com/eventos/proximo/?action=tribe_list&tribe_paged=1&tribe-bar-search=carlos

Then all three of the events you listed are returned.

While I see they do have what look like valid addresses for their respective venues, I seem to recall we previously determined the nature of your hosting setup was preventing actual geographic data – namely, coordinates – from being pulled in via the Google API.

Unfortunately, if the plugin does not have this information it cannot include events taking place at those locations within map view.

Might that explain the problem?

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
