[Resolved] Search box on WordPress Dashboard is not working for a custom post type

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

I am trying to: do a search through the list of posts(events) inside the WordPress Dashboard, but the search function is not working.

I expected to see: when I type a search term and hit the button "Search Events" I expect to get the list of Events that match those keywords.

Instead, I got: I got the list of all the events, like if I wouldn't have tiped any keyboard.

Solution:

The problem you mentioned above is abnormal, in case it is a compatibility problem, please try this:
deactivate other plugins and switch to wordpress default theme, and test again
