Hello,

I’ve been trying to add a simple search form. Every time I submit a search, I get directed to an error page with a gray box saying either that my search did not return any results, or that the action I requested is invalid. The code is below:

{exp:search:simple_form channel="news|pages" search_in="everywhere"}
    <input type="text" name="keywords" value="" />
    <input type="submit" id="search-submit" value="Go" />
   {/exp:search:simple_form}

I noticed that the URL doesn’t change when I submit the search too. However, when I checked the search log in the CP, it does seem to be logging the terms I’m searching.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Thanks!

Been doing more digging and I came across this post:

I’m working with the same tutorial, and despite the suggestions from that thread (adding in statuses), I’m still getting the same error. All the channel fields are set to searchable too—I double checked to make sure.

Hi, EJ Fan.

Let’s have you make a few minor changes to your simple search form.

{exp:search:simple_form channel="news|pages" search_in="everywhere" where="all" status="not closed"}
    <input type="text" name="keywords" value="" />
    <input type="submit" id="search-submit" value="Go" />
   {/exp:search:simple_form}

Does that help?
