Why Your Website's Search Bar Can't Find Your Own Content (And How to Fix It)

You publish a blog post. You want to share it with a client. So you go to your own website, type the full title into the search bar — and nothing comes up. You try one word from the title and there it is immediately. The post exists. The search bar knows your website. But it could not find the thing you were looking for when you asked for it directly. This is not a bug. It is how most website search functions work by default — and it is quietly making your content invisible to the people most likely to want it.
