Hello,

I have a very big website (>9000 pages / reviews through databound forms) and the search works through a dropdown. Despite the pages being an EXACT MATCH!!!! they aren't showing up for some reason. I know they are an exact match because I populated with a CSV and when I check the opt_value against the csv page name, they are exactly the same with CTRL + F. Is there any fix for this? The funny thing is that using the native search function shows these pages, but the dropdown search doesn't.

I know where the problem potentially is, In my opinion it is *not* your fault.

I eventually figured this one out. Basically I used to have a dropdown with search using bootstrap-select, but then I switched over to the inbuilt mysql search because it's just much more practical and better on mobile. I got it to work by passing the search keyword to the <cms:pages as the custom_field and I guess because it's a fuzzier search it works perfectly now
