Hi - I’m trying to implement a google custom search engine on my site. The problem is that whenever I introduce parameters into the URL string via a question mark, the proper template fails to appear. For example, if you submit a search here:

http://mavdig.com/test/search_page

using this code:

<form> 
              <div id="topSearchBoxWrapper"><input name="searchBox" type="text" id="topSearchBox" value="" /></div> 
              <input type="submit" class="buttonSearch" value="" /> 
 </form>

you will be redirected to the default index page for my site. But if you just enter a plain URL with no parameters for the search results page, it comes up.

http://mavdig.com/test/search_results

Any idea what might be causing this?

heaversm,

Open up your /system/expressionengine/config/config.php and change

$config['uri_protocol']    = 'AUTO';

to

$config['uri_protocol']    = 'PATH_INFO';

Let us know if that helps

yes! well, actually, I had to use the

$config['uri_protocol']    = 'ORIG_PATH_INFO';

option, but it worked. Thanks, been agonizing over this one for awhile.

Hi heaversm,

Glad that John Henry was able to point you in the right direction. Please post back if required.

Cheers
