    When you do a search it isn't necessary to put the hyphens between the search terms. This will make the search like one big word. Try separating the words with spaces and try again.

    What exactly did you search for ?

    "Blackberry Vs Iphone" or "Blackberry-vs-Iphone"

    If you had searched for the 1st one, then the post should appear, however if its not appearing, then the search form is coverting your characters to lowercase (which is ok), and then adding a hyphen (-) between the search terms, which is not ok, thats why you see no post in your search results.

    You need to see where the search form is and then see how it is using the search term as, it can be on any file, though most probably it should be on searchform.php

    If it's a paid theme, then contacting the theme author will help.

    Regards.

        Do one thing.

        Go to Settings > Permalink.

        Click on Save Changes.

        And then try to see the post from the home page.

        If you are still unable to see the post, there is something wrong in the anchor link which is linking the heading to the full post.
