Hello,

I have a simple search form, marked up thusly:

{exp:search:simple_form result_page="/search/results" no_result_page="/search/no_results" search_in="everywhere" results="3"}
            <input type="search" name="keywords" placeholder="SEARCH">
            <input type="submit" value="">
        {/exp:search:simple_form}

And my results page, marked up thusly:

{exp:search:search_results switch="even|odd"}
    <div class="result {switch}">
    <h2><a href="http://{page_url}">{title}</a></h2>
<p>    {exp:search_hilite}{excerpt}{/exp:search_hilite} <a href="http://{page_url}">View Page</a><br />
    </div><!--/.result--><br />
    {/exp:search:search_results}</p>

<p>{if paginate}<br />
{page_count} {paginate}<br />
{/if}

When I perform a search, I am taken to the results page, and 3 entries display. The pagination shows that I am on page 1 of X pages. When I click on page 2, for example, the URL is appended with “P3”, the page refreshes to show the same 3 results from the first page, and the pagination still shows that I am on page 1 of X pages. If I click on page 3, the URL is appended with “P6”, and the same thing happens.

No idea what’s going on here. I’m running EE 2.1.3.

Hi Unifusion,

The URLs you’re seeing are correct (P is not short for “page”). But with only 3 results, the pagination shouldn’t be showing at all.

1.Can you try with only the above code by itself in the templates?
2. What happens if there are, say, 4 results?
3. Any extensions?

Hi Brandon,

I don’t understand. I have the search set to limit the results to 3 per page, so the pagination shows up because there are more than 3 total results.

In the example I used before, I was using a search term that returned 7 total results, so the pagination showed “page 1 of 3”.

Unifusion,

Are you removing index.php via a htaccess file? If so please disable temporarily and reinstate index.php back into your General Configuration settings. Now test again.

Have you got a link where we could see this happen for ourselves?

It’s still happening even with index.php inserted.

I’ll PM you a URL.

Hi, Unifusion. We work in shifts, so if you sent something to John Henry, he won’t be back again for about 12 hours. Please click MSG next to my avatar, and I’ll put the info into a user record we keep so other TSS can assist if I go off shift.

Hi Unifusion,

Sorry I missed those emails from you. I can see the behaviour you are experiencing but cannot replicate on my own install.

Are you using any add-ons? Anything that might interfere with a URL like Structure or Freebie?

Hi John,

Yes, I have Structure installed, but it’s not controlling the search results pages. Those are static templates.

Please let me know what you need to get this issue resolved, and I’ll get it to you immediately. I really need to get this fixed soon. This support request has been open for 6 days now.

Unifusion,

Structure controls a lot of the URLs when installed through it’s extension, not just entry pages.
Can you try and disable the Structure extension please? Just the extension, not the module or accessory.
Make a db backup for piece of mind first.

Now try the search results again

Yup, disabling the Structure extension fixed the problem. Looks like the guys have pushed out a fix for it.

Thanks for the quick response John, I appreciate it.

No problems. Feel free as always to start a new thread if you have any more questions
