Hello, i had the same problem. In my case the problem was in the file functions.php this were my problem, i hope this will help you:

function my_smart_search( $search, &$wp_query ) {
	global $wpdb;

	if ( empty( $search ))
		return $search;

	$terms = $wp_query->query_vars[ 's' ];
	$exploded = explode( ' ', $terms );
	if( $exploded === FALSE || count( $exploded ) == 0 )
	$exploded = array( 0 => $terms );

	$search = "";
	foreach( $exploded as $tag ) {
	$search .= " AND (
		(wp_posts.post_title LIKE '%$tag%')
		OR (wp_posts.post_content LIKE '%$tag%')
		OR EXISTS
		(
			SELECT * FROM wp_comments
			WHERE comment_post_ID = wp_posts.ID
			AND comment_content LIKE '%$tag%'
		)
		OR EXISTS
		(
			SELECT * FROM wp_terms
			INNER JOIN wp_term_taxonomy
			ON wp_term_taxonomy.term_id = wp_terms.term_id
			INNER JOIN wp_term_relationships
			ON wp_term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id = wp_term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id
			WHERE taxonomy = 'post_tag'
			AND object_id = wp_posts.ID
			AND wp_terms.name LIKE '%$tag%'
		)
		)";
	}

	return $search;
}
add_filter( 'posts_search', 'my_smart_search', 500, 2 );

function buscador_mostrar_solo_posts($query){
	if ($query->is_search) {
		$query->set(‘post_type’, ‘post’);
	}
	return $query;
}
add_filter(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘buscador_mostrar_solo_posts’);
