Try removing the back ticks when you are searching for a macro.

Check the permissions on the macro

Use <ctrl><shft>E while your cursor is in the search box to expand the macro to check it is doing what you expect

Please expand on what you mean for each scenario when you are getting results and when you are not getting results?

If there are multiple commands in your SPL, try removing them one at a time until the situation changes, so you can identify the step which is causing the issue.
