Is this right, ya'll?

The standard Search widget does not include any text in the primary sidebar in the results?

Actually, I just reinstalled it so I could post a url for you and now it's not finding any results anywhere...

Any ideas?

I think is actually a WordPress weakness. Per this post, widget content is not searched: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widget-content-in-search-results

In looking through the advanced search plugins, none claim to be able to search widget content :/

Gordon, thanks so much for your response!

This is, indeed, unfortunate!
