This question may be related to a resolved thread.

We just upgraded from version 2.1.0 -> 2.3.1, partly to alleviate a problem with pagination in search results. After upgrading the search will not return any results. The code has not changed and it was returning results immediately prior to upgrading. Here’s the code:

{exp:search:simple_form channel="a_closer_look|columns_blogs|consumer_corner|editors_desk|editorials|hnf_stories|state_letters|hnf_letters|top_stories|consumer_corner_resources" result_page="search/results" no_result_page="search/no_results" search_in="entries" status="open|Archive" results="9999"}

        <input type="text" name="keywords" id="keywords" />
        <input type="submit" value="Search" class="submit" />

        {/exp:search:simple_form}

You can try the search yourself by visiting http://www.healthnewsflorida.org. If you search for ‘Carol Gentry’ you should have a few hundred results returned.

Hi Shawn,

Can you create a blank template and just add the following default template code as below

{exp:search:simple_form channel="a_closer_look|columns_blogs|consumer_corner|editors_desk|editorials|hnf_stories|state_letters|hnf_letters|top_stories|consumer_corner_resources" result_page="search/results" no_result_page="search/no_results" search_in="entries" status="not closed" results="20"}
        
                <label for="keywords">Search:</label>

                <input type="text" name="keywords" id="keywords" value="" size="18" maxlength="100">
        
 
        
                <input type="submit" value="submit" class="submit">
        
{/exp:search:simple_form}

Do you have any addons installed?

Hi John,

I was able to resolve this myself this morning. I created a blank template as you suggested and got the same result. I realized that I wasn’t seeing the normal no_results template that I should have been seeing. I checked the Template Manager and saw there were about 10 duplicate ‘search’ template groups. We had some problems with the recent upgrade due to a $conf[] variable in config.php. Maybe these got duplicated each time we retried the upgrade wizard? I’m not entirely sure. In any case, I deleted ALL of the ‘search’ template groups and created a new one with the proper templates. All is well now 😊.

Thanks!
