Event Date Search Not Returning Events

I am bewildered. I know this is a setting or a basic misunderstanding of how advanced search and search bar works.

I am on v2, up to date and everything seems to be running well. However search from the search bar, using date range or even single date setting returns no events for the range applied. We have tested on days we know there are events, they come up via the calendar widget for those dates. Seems to only effect the Search bar on the archive and search pages.

Any insight would be helpful into what I am missing here. I have exhausted my knowledge and online searches looking for a similar issue.

Appended: Searches have been with City + Date Range, Date Range Alone. Anytime Date Range is incorporated as a filter it returns no results.
