    I am struggling with Search for my forum. The standard WP Search within my site works and includes results from the bbpress forums but only shows individual posts. I’d rather show links to the Topic, or at least have a link in the posts found to the topic.
    So I tried to implement Search within the forum.
    I tried using shortcode [bbp-search] but this changes nothing on the page. I tried the shortcode [bbp-search-form] on the page and got a search box but no matter what text I enter in there I only ever get the same single result which is the latest overall WP post, not a bbpress post.
    I have set “Allow forum wide search” in settings.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I have now got this working but for others that might find the problem it appears that this only works with the theme I have by copying the file “content-search.php” into a bbpress folder within a child theme.
