On the site that I’m currently developing, the search is not working. Whenever I try to search for something I’m getting this error:

“You did not submit a search term.”

I did however entered one 😊

My search form looks like this:

{exp:search:simple_form result_page="search/results" weblog="profile|grants|projects|glossary" search_in="everywhere"}
    <input id="search_query" type="text" name="q" value="" size="15" />
    <input id="search_go" type="submit" value="Go" class="submit" />
 {/exp:search:simple_form}

And there is the default template in search/results.  I’ve also noticed that I’m not being taken to one of these typical search urls such as /search/results/xxxxx but to the homepage instead. Could this be related to this technique for multilingual sites I’m using?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

The primary search method is to search by keyword. If you change the form field, you need to be sure to leave the name=“keywords” attribute alone:

<label for="keywords">Keywords:</label>

<input type="text" name="keywords" id="keywords" maxlength="100" size="20" />

You need a form with a name= parameter of “keywords”.

Great, that worked! Thanks for the swift reply, Ingmar.
