Here is the code that we have for the Search form:

{exp:search:simple_form channel="blog|work|pages" search_in="everywhere" no_result_page="search/oops" result_page="search/index"}
     <input type="text" name="keywords" title="Search…">
     <button type="submit">/files/images/go.png</button>
    {/exp:search:simple_form}

And here is the code that we have for our Search page template (search/index):

{embed=default/.head title="Search Results"}
    <div id="inside">
     <div class="content">
     <h1>Search Results</h1>{exp:search:search_results}
      <div class="result">
       <h3><a href="http://{if">{title}</a></h3>
<p>       {exp:word_limit total="30"}{excerpt}{/exp:word_limit}<br />
      </div>{/exp:search:search_results}<br />
    </div><br />
    <div id="sidebar">{exp:channel:entries entry_id="11"}<br />
     {sidebar_content}{/exp:channel:entries}<br />
    </div><br />
{embed=default/.footer}

The search function should work, because we have another site (Site #2) that uses near identical code and it works. Looking at the database that Site #1 is linked to, we are also getting up to date logs on all searches attempted using the form.

When the form is submitted, however, the page redirects to the homepage.

You can test this for yourself here: http://www.acsadvertisinginc.com/

(And the sister site, the working one, is here: http://www.trippak.com/ )

Thanks

Never mind.

I was able to fix this by adding the “www.” back to the site URL in the Admin > General Configuration page.

It was removed for some purpose regarding SEO by another colleague.

Hi Lance,

Indeed, ExpressionEngine doesn’t care if “www” is included or not, but it does need to be consistent one way or the other. So, if you choose to have it or not, make sure you are enforcing it throughout URL values in your Control Panel and perhaps even a directive in .htaccess

If you need anything else, please let me know!

Cheers,
