I upgraded my site to 3.0 but now past discussions do not come up in search results. Someone was searching for "Air Purifiers" and I know we have a ton of past discussions on that topic but nothing comes up in a search. What's the point of "upgrading" if we can't find past discussions in our forum? That's 10+ years of information that is now lost to all my members. How can this be fixed? I may as well switch back to my 2.0 site or to another social network company altogether if all my forum discussions are essentially lost since we cannot access them via a keyword search. Please advise why keywords are not yielding any search results! And please advise exactly WHAT is the forum searching for when it does a search, if not keywords? Right now, the search tool has absolutely no value to the site. I'm so confused by this. Thank you.

Rather than kicking-off on here did you contact Ning Support?
I had a simlar problem after migration and fixed within 30 minutes.
Yes. I contacted NING Support and have had no response from them. So that's why I posted here. Glad you were helped so quickly. That has not been my experience.
Hello,
Thank you for contacting us.

Thank you for escalating this Elizabeth. I had sent multiple emails to NING support but got no response, and this morning I was contacted by my migration specialist because you escalated it, so thank you very much. Unfortunately, he did not understand the issue and performed work that was unnecessary. I have once again written out the issue and I do hope he understands the problem I am having. If you can't understand the problem, you can't fix it.
I am happy to report that the issue was finally fixed! I feel so much relief. Thank you Elizabeth for escalating this!! My forum just needed to be indexed.
