Search not returning any results anymore.

I have just updated to the most recent version, hoping that it would solve our issue that search was not returning any results, but nothing has changed. If I search using a search term in the keywords field, then things get returned as results, but if i leave the search field blank, and just try to filter using categories / taxonomies, it always returns a “no results” page. Please help!

I tried rebuilding the cache.

I am hosted on WPEngine in case that matters 🙂

also want to mention that my search.php doesnt have any code that returns false if the search query is empty. I also have this in my functions.php to allow for empty search

function make_blank_search ($query){
    global $wp_query;
    if (isset($_GET['s']) && $_GET['s']==''){  //if search parameter is blank, do not return false
        $wp_query->set('s',' ');
        $wp_query->is_search=true;
    }
    return $query;
}
add_action('pre_get_posts','make_blank_search');

I had to remove the code on our main site because we cant have it displaying no results for people. I kept the search form on our staging site, so here is a new link:

What template does the saerch results page use? If it is search.php, are you able to copy and paste that here, in code ticks as you did above?

Whilst not being sure it is the issue, but all the code you show seems to be looking foa standard WordPress search string, e.g.

$wp_query->query['s']

I say this because Search & Filter does not use the s string. Let us say that I had a shop on a site called mysite.com. The normal WordPress search for spider would be:

https://mysite.com/shop/?s=spider

But in Search and filter it would be:

https://mysite.com/shop/?_sf_s=spider

but that doesnt have anything to do with the results showing or not showing, and the page functions fine when you include any letter or number in the search field. Can you guys please escalate this to a support thread so we can get it working? I need this to function for my site.

the code that looks for $wp_query->query[‘s’] is only used to display the terms in a breadcrumb. It has nothing to do with the rest of the page that should be displaying the search results.

I also tried to do this using a default twenty seventeen theme and the same thing is happening. So it is not my theme.
