Ok - I’ve tried searching for this and I can’t find anything. I’m having a really odd problem with my search results.

I’ve gone into my weblog’s path settings and I’m pointing the search results to:

http://(domain)/index.php/(template_group)/search/

Instead everytime I search, the form points to:

http://(domain)/index.php/search/results/(random letter/number)/

Here’s my simple search form code:

{exp:search:simple_form weblog="{my_template_group}" search_in="everywhere" results_page"{my_template_group}/search/" no_results_page="{my_template_group}/search/"}
    <input type="text" name="keywords" id="keywords" value="" />
    <input type="image" value="submit" src="/assets/images/btn_go.png">
    <p><a href="{my_template_group}/search/advanced/">Advanced Search</a></p>
{/exp:search:simple_form}

What am I doing wrong?

Do you have a link to the site in question? Normally, /search/results is the default location, yes.

Actually, the parameter is named result_page, no “s”.

@Ingmar, but that wouldn’t explain why my form action path continues to point to a different template group—would it? I’m just really frustrated at this point with it.

Also no search ever seems to return any results for me even when I manually enter the correct URL path in the address bar - even when I know there are those words in the posts. Grrrrr....

I just tested this minimal template sucessfully:

{assign_variable:my_template_group="test"}
{exp:search:simple_form weblog="default_site" search_in="everywhere"
result_page="{my_template_group}/search/" no_result_page="{my_template_group}/search/"}
    <input type="text" name="keywords" id="keywords" value="" />
    <input type="button" value="submit">
    <p><a href="/{my_template_group}/search/advanced/">Advanced Search</a></p>
{/exp:search:simple_form}

A couple of suggestions:

1) Make sure the weblog= parameter is correct. Your are using the template group currently.
2) Make sure that {my_template_group} is actually defined.
3) The parameters are named result_page and no_result_page. You have misspelled them.
4) If you hardcode the link to the advanced search form, starting with the template_group, be sure to use a slash at the start

By the way, are you trying to combine both search form and results on a single template? If so, this thread might be of interest to you.

@Ingmar… Thanks. Apparently I was doing it correctly at one point, I just created an {if} statement which always would return no results. Oops.
