{exp:search:simple_form weblog="news" search_in="entries" result_page="/search/results"}                
                        <input type="text" name="keywords" id="keywords" value="{exp:search:keywords}" /><input type="submit" value="search" class="submit btn" >
                        
                    {/exp:search:simple_form}

This code is on my results page, because I want a search box for them to easily search again.  The problem is that {exp:search:keywords} is not showing up as the term searched, but instead the encrypted version of it, for example: M00o93H7pQ09L8X1t49cHY01Z5j4TT91fGfr

If I move {exp:search:keywords} outside of the {exp:search:simple_form} then it correctly displays the search term.  This code has been copied from another site where it works fine, so what am I missing?

That’s not encrypted, it’s a marker that should be replaced by EE. What version and build of EE are you running? Do you’ve got a link? Any third-party extensions enabled?

thanks for the quick response.  we’re using EE 1.6.7.  I dont think we’re using any interfering extensions.

search for ‘google’ and you’ll get a result.

I think you are running into this issue. Please see the wiki article for a working solution, I don’t think it has to be a hidden field.

hmm, thanks.

Let us know how it goes, or if that takes care of the issue for you.
