Hey @Robkk – I added the code you provided to my child theme’s functions.php. At that point I was able to search my entire site, including the forum, with the main search. And if we cannot figure out what the problem is with the forum search that may be my only option.
But I’d like to keep the two search functions separate at the moment. @robin-w any idea what steps I can take next to get my forum search working? The plugins/theme don’t seem to be the problem at the moment after testing.
Thank you both very much for your help so far!
@robin-w Thank you for your reply. I tried both methods you suggested above and came up with the same result as before. When I search while in the forum the only return I get is my latest blog post. My latest blog post may or may not have the searched for word.
I also tried installing the plugin @robkk suggested above and it didn’t fix the problem.
Any other ideas why this would be happening?
@robkk Thank you – I will check this out. Right now my search isn’t returning anything so I don’t know if this will fix it or not. But it’s worth a try.
Robin – I think you may have misinterpreted my last response or maybe I worded it funny. My bbPress search function is not return results.
Take a look for yourself:

Enter “Track” or “Trail” words that are used quite a bit. The only return you will get is my latest post which does not have these words. It does not return the 15 or so topics/replies that have this word.
My standard wordpress search works as it should but the forum search does not.
I took the “link” code out and it posted.
Yes, this is very strange.
I’ve placed the link for my forum and for my “test” topic below. I’ve been searching with the word “Wellsville” as that is unique to topic below. All it returns is the newest blog post which does not have Wellsville in it anywhere.
My standard search within WordPress works as it should. Should the bbPress search be limited to the forum? That would be good.

My replies don’t seem to be showing up. Can you see them?
Hey Robin – I appreciate your response but my theme designer gave me some code to make it work.

For reference, this is the custom CSS we entered:
/* bbPress WP Tweak plugin left justified text fix 3-13-2015 */
#sidebar.sidebar-left{ text-align: initial !important; }
