I am trying to use the Simple Search module but it keeps returning no results using the system error message. Here is the code that I am using

{exp:search:simple_form 
    channel="employment" 
    results_page="/search/test/"
    no_result_page="/search/noresults/" 
    form_class="search-form"
    search_in="everywhere"
    where="any"}

I am searching for a word that is in the title of one of three entries in the employment channel.

I am using this with Stash if that makes a difference.

Thanks for the help.

Are your fields set to searchable?

Yes And the term that I am searching for is in the title.

I did find this bug report https://support.ellislab.com/bugs/detail/19828. I have tried to make that change but now I get PHP Errors.

FYI I am using EE version 2.7.2

Sorry - just to be double sure, each field has it’s ‘searchable’ setting enabled?  That and not specifying the “search_in” parameter are most of the issues with simple search.

Does the CP-based search on the Edit tab work?

And how is Stash being used here? Can you remove it from the equation?

Might not be the issue, but remove the leading and trailing “/” from your result and no result parameters. You’re just telling EE a template group/template name, not really so much a path.

Yes I have the search radio button on the body text field in the Employment channel fields set to yes. I am also searching for a word that is in the title of one of the entries in that channel. But I am still getting no results found and it is using the system message and not the template that I am specifying in the parameters.

And yes the search is working on the edit page

I have removed the leading slash and now the Template debugging says “Template group and template not found, showing 404 page”

The templates do exist as they are in the template manager.

Trailing slash too?

yes I removed both

Feels like either a bug or somehow a corrupt file. Were it me I’d create a new template group, copy in the search related templates, and re-code my search tag to look at those new templates. If the issue persists I’d update to 2.7.3.  If it still persists I’d get EE tech support involved.

I have already tried the changing the template groups and templates so I will try to upgrade EE and see if that works.

I have just upgraded to EE 2.7.3 and I am still getting the error about the template not being found.

Can you link to those templates using standard path variables?

Yes that works
