Describe the bug
I have about 100 job listings on our Job Manager page (https://www.boardroommagazine.com/jobs/) but the keyword search results in "There are no listings matching your search." It's the same no matter what I put in the keyword input. Category and Location searches work fine.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to 'https://www.boardroommagazine.com/jobs/'
  2. Enter any keyword from any of the listings
  3. Click "Search Jobs"
  4. result: "There are no listings matching your search."
