  Hi, I am trying to create a website, and I put in search block so that my friends could search for a given blog post name. When I tried it in my computer it works, but when I tried it in by phone it just says ‘ there is no blog with the key word’. I don’t know if this issue is about the reason that I set the blogs to password protected ( but I think it isn’t the issue). Please kindly help me!

  Hi there, here’s what it says on the Search Widget support guide at https://wordpress.com/support/widgets/search-widget/

  What It Searches

  The Search widget/ block will return results from the titles and the bodies of your posts and pages, and from media titles, alt text, file names, and single image captions. It will not return results from widgets, comments, categories, gallery captions or other text, or tags.

  Password protecting posts on a WordPress.com site does have an impact on that, so if you’d like us to troubleshoot, please share a link to your site and the search term involved. Thanks.
