I wrote a custom search page. It was working well then I added additional changes, now I got 404-Result-problem. The problem keep there even I did revert (I have backup) and I cleared the cache. I'm not sure if it's because of Wordpress update i ran today.
So I want to find out what wrong here since I don't know why I got "404 Not Found"-Page with "Sorry, keine Beiträge gefunden" (which means "Sorry, no posts found") but there I see the result (so its actually fine!). Because of 404-Page my Result-Page (as I said its found) looks broken.
I just found out: If I keep the "Name" field empty, then the page result is fine. But as soon I enter name (which searchs in title of pages) pages are found but I got 404-Page.
Here my code, maybe I oversaw something important?

And here the part in function.php of child-theme:
function title_filter($where, $wp_query)
{
global $wpdb;
if($search_term = $wp_query->get( 'title_filter' )){
$search_term = $wpdb->esc_like($search_term);
$search_term = ' \'%' . $search_term . '%\'';
$title_filter_relation = 'AND';
$where .= ' '.$title_filter_relation.' ' . $wpdb->posts . '.post_title LIKE '.$search_term;
}
return $where;
Thank you in advance!
Best regards Floh
