Hey Guys,

Similar question to the above - My simple search is currently not working and I am not sure why. It was originally working, but has since stopped :gulp:

this is the code on the search module:

<div id="search-module">
          <a href="http://iabaustralia.gabrieltamborini.com.au/images/searchtitle.jpg">http://iabaustralia.gabrieltamborini.com.au/images/searchtitle.jpg</a>
          {exp:search:simple_form no_result_page="search/noresults" status="open|closed" result_page="search/results" search_in="everywhere"}
               <input class="search-textfield" type="text" name="keywords" />
               <button type="submit" id="search-button" class="submit"></button>
          {/exp:search:simple_form}
     </div>

And here is the code on the results page:

{exp:search:search_results}
          <div id="main-event">
               <h2><a href="http://{auto_path}">{title}</a></h2>
<p>               <div id="story-date">Published: {entry_date format="%d%S %M, %Y"}</div><br />
               <div id="story-link"><a href="http://{auto_path}">find out more</a></div><br />
               {excerpt}<br />
          </div><br />
     {/exp:search:search_results}

Any insights would be great please!

sorry - the search works, but the linking through to the articles from the results page won’t.

Do you’ve got a link to the site? What version and build of EE are you on? If you say, it’s worked before, what did you change? Or perhaps on the hosting side of things some changes were made?

Sent through the url in private message. EE 1.6.6.

I tested the search when I first set up the site and it was working fine.

There hasn’t been any hosting changes (although there will be - it will move to its live home soon).

There was only one change I have made.

I was having issues getting pagination to work inside pages with multiple weblogs, so have replaced line 1261 in mod.weblog.php from:

if (preg_match("#^P(\d+)|/P(\d+)#", $qstring, $match) AND $dynamic)

To this:

if (preg_match("#^P(\d+)|/P(\d+)#", $qstring, $match))

That shouldn’t be affecting the search though.

Make sure your paths are set correctly for each weblog at:  CP Home ›  Admin ›  Weblog Administration ›  Weblog Management ›  Edit Weblog Preferences ›  Path Settings, specifically the:  Search Results URL

ok - so I went through and added the URL to the search results page in the weblog preferences but now when I click on the articles appearing in the search from those weblogs, I’m getting a 404 error page.

e.g - type ‘online’ in the search module, then when the results appear, select the article called ‘15th Annual AIMIA Awards’.

Your search results URL is pointing to index.php, you need to include the template group and template you use to show your “single entry” pages.  So you need to add /news/story/

Thanks Lisa,

Tried that however they still bring a 404 error - The weblog for news stories and events has been changed to goto their correct templates, and they give a 404.

So for example - when a user clicks on the news articles from the search, the News weblog search results url in the path settings is:
http://urlpath/news/story

But when you click on these, it gives you a 404.

an example of this occurance is the story “Down to the tie-breaker but Tomb Raiding takes New Dialogue to the top of Creative Showcase Round 2” which should appear if you search for it.

are you removing index.php from your URLs?  You probably need to tweak your rewrite.  But for the time being, please put it back in so we can test this.

THank you,
