Hi all,

A site I created a while ago, has got to a stage where it needs a good clean up. I noticed that the simple search in the header always seems to return nothing:

http://www.houseofbatteries.co.uk

code:

{exp:search:simple_form channel="products" id="search_mini_form" result_page="search/results" search_in="everywhere"}
  <div class="form-search">
    <input type="text" name="keywords" id="keywords" class="input-text" value="Find your batteries" />
    <input type="image" src="/images/btn-search.png" value="submit" alt="Search" class="submit" />
  </div>
  {/exp:search:simple_form}

The product name fields and sku fields are all set to searchable in the channel field group.

Can anyone help?

Ian

Hi ianryde,

Sorry for the sudden trouble!

Can you give this code a go for a test?

{exp:search:simple_form channel="products" search_in="everywhere" result_page="search/results" status="not closed" where="all" show_expired="yes" show_future_entries="yes"}
     <input type="text" name="keywords" id="keywords" value="" size="18" maxlength="100" />
     <input type="submit" value="search" />
{/exp:search:simple_form}

Let’s see what that gets us!

Cheers,

Hi Dan,

Just added the code and I get:

Search Results:

  Your search did not return any results.

Return to Previous Page

Really weird.

Hi Ian,

Can you check that you are consistently using or removing the “www” in the address.

For instance, if you visit the search with “domain.com” and ExpressionEngine is set to use “www.domain.com” it can lead to this kind of behavior.

Hi Dan,

I’ve checked that, i think.

I use leevi graham .htaccessgenerator. Have tried it without, cleared caches. And also tried removing the www. which caused the search not not even try to work and just refreshed the screen.

No matter what I search for the results are still: Nothing found.

Thanks,
Ian

Hi Ian,
