 Hi all,

 Having quite a job getting a contact point for this problem. I am a
 customer, not a developer. Just want the search function to work on my
 developers forum.

 there is a bug in your search function and this is explained at:
 https://wordpress.org/support/topic/search-bug-in-your-wp-org-forum/#new-
 topic-0

 Search is mixing up double and single quotes. Hope this can be fixed.

 thanks

 Cheers Don...

 Message from the developer :

     It seems to be very strange. actually, it is not in our control. When
 we search “listings”, the following is put into google

 listing+intext:”Plugin:+Advanced+Classifieds+&+Directory+Pro”

 And there is no result. But strangely, if we replace the double quotes
 with single quotes, it’s working.

 listing+intext:’Plugin:+Advanced+Classifieds+&+Directory+Pro’
