[solved] search module, after installed and edit template

[ozalkl]

hi,

i just setup my cmsms and i applied the {search} tag to my template to show the search function, when i try to search for example "picturesque" which is part of the content, and i already re-indexed my content, the url shows"http://localhost/cms/index.php?cntnt01s ... eturnid=57" but i do not get to see anything

can anyone tell me what i missed? did i configure the search module in the right way or there is steps to be done in order for the search to function?

Do you have {content} in your template?

[ozalkl]

yes, i have the content in my template.


currently when i type any keyword for example "site" the return url will be:

index.php?mact=Search%2Ccntnt01%2Cdosearch%2C0&cntnt01returnid=81&cntnt01searchinput=site&cntnt01origreturnid=15

and it dose not do anything, as the content page is empty  ???


update;

i added {search resultpage="searchresults"} in my template and everything is done by the book, i still cant show search results, but i can see that when i hit "search" button, it will go to the search page but without showing any search results or any sort of search content

Hi ozalkl,

Seems to me like the exact same issue i experienced when using pretty URL's for my site...
- search doesn't return any results
- when i added a "resultpage", the redirect seemed to work but still no actual search results where being displayed

In my case, i just didn't read all of the help file, oops 
below you will find the bottom line from the search module help file:

(optional) search_method="get" - Pretty Urls Compatibility via Method POST, default value is always GET, to make this work just put {search search_method="post"}

Greetings,
Manuel
