Why the Search Box on the Blog Can't Find the Article You're Looking For Even Though the Article Does Exists ?
A blog is a website created by people who want to share all the information that they know. You could say that a blog is a place where someone stores the information that they have, a simple example like this one.
Well, there are actually dozens or even billions of blogs in the world, and of course most of them have died and become zombie blogs, even so the information that was entered by the blog owner is still there to this day, it never disappears.

However, there are also some blogs that may still be up to date to this day. There are certainly not a few blogs that are still updated to these times, there are many and they are indeed spread across various parts of the world.
So when you follow a blog that interests you and you find out that the blog has specific articles that match what you want, and the next day when you want to find an article containing information that you accidentally came across yesterday right on the blog's search box, you can't find it at all, even though you know that the blog has the article you are looking for and want, but why did the article suddenly disappear from the blog? Well, maybe i can explain why this could happen, let's discuss it together :
1. The Article Title You Type is Too Long
Article titles that are too long can affect article searches on blogs, this is because the search box feature on the blog itself is not as effective as the google search feature, so when you want to find the article you want, make sure you write the article title not too long.
2. The letters in the article title do not match the size
This can happen if you enter the article title not according to size, the size here is the presence of capital letters or not, for example like this, if you want to search for "How to Look for Shrimp in the Computer World" then you must note that you must follow the specific size which contains capital letters.

Here the letter "C" then the letter "M" then the letter "U" then the letter "D" "D" and "K", well the 6 initial letters turned out to use capital letters, then you have to change the typing of the initial letter of the title that you type in the search box to uppercase letters aka capital letters.
Then if there are no capital letters on the blog article how?
Yes, of course you don't need to make capital letters in the search box on the blog, it's so that articles whose titles don't have capital letters can be seen.
3. There is Something Missing in the Title of the Article
If you are looking for articles from the blog search box but you haven't found the article you are looking for, then you have to look at the title you typed, you have to look carefully to see if there are missing letters.
If something is missing then add it, for example “spatu kda ‘ well there are 2 letters missing, namely the letter ’a”, so you have to add the missing letters so that the article you are looking for on the blog appears.
4. The Article Doesn't Exist
Well this can happen if indeed the blog owner has deleted the article or overhauled the article, for example if I have an article about "how to cook a laptop", then you find it and you bookmark it to read tomorrow.
Later that night, i change the permalink or url that is on the article, then the address that you should have saved will not be able to take you back to my article, that's because I have changed the address, well then when you search for it, there is a 404 Error Not Found page.
It could also be that my article was taken down by Google because it violated an initial TOS that had been made by Google.
Now the 4 factors above can affect the article you want to search for on the blog, because the blog search box is not as advanced as the youtube/search engine search box or the social media search box, it is based on Google which has never updated the blog search function on the blog template, so of course the search box on a blog resulting from the blog owner's template re-design is not as accurate as imagined.
So to solve this problem, I have some advice, make sure you only type 1 specific word, if you want to search for "horse shoes" then type "horse" in the blog's search box, then there will be several articles that are identical to horses, so start from there and you can trace them by searching for it, so you can be more precise and find the article you are looking for.
Well, that's all from me. Hopefully this article can help expand your information about "why the blog search box can't find your article", thank you.
