Search functionality
Permalink
I've got a problem with the search functionality of concrete5:
In the right upper corner of my site (www.vzwdorp.eu), you can see a search field. It's there because it was in the theme I installed, but I think it points to the wrong page. How can I solve this?
Further on: when I have a look at my install directory of concrete5, I see:
And then in the concrete folder I see:
So the same directories are coming back, is this normal? Or did I do anything wrong with the install?
Thanks for your time to have a look at this.
regards,
Michael

Further on: when I have a look at my install directory of concrete5, I see:
LICENSE.TXT blocks config css files index.php js libraries models robots.txt sitemap.xml tools README concrete controllers elements helpers jobs languages mail packages single_pages themes updates
And then in the concrete folder I see:
blocks config controllers css dispatcher.php elements flash helpers images jobs js libraries mail models packages single_pages startup themes tools
So the same directories are coming back, is this normal? Or did I do anything wrong with the install?

Thanks for your answer, but I don't want to get rid of the fake search, I want it to work :-)
Any idea of how to do that for the whole site? (and not just a search on a per page basis).

Ok, thanks to that link, I managed to get it working.
Two remarks though:
1) I added the search block to the global scrapbook with the following options:
Search Within Path: Everywhere
Post to Another Page Elsewhere: search
So I made a page called "search" under the home folder and told it not to show up in the navigation.
Now my first question: why are the search results given in my header and not in the body of that page?
2) Whe I search for something, the results are very poor, even though I ran the "Index Search Engine" Job and it tells me: "68 page(s) indexed."
When I seach for a word that's on a page, I almost always get: "There were no results found. Please try another keyword or phrase." Unless when I search for the name of a page, then I get a result.
How come?
Thanks for all your help, much appreciated!

B. It is normal for the directories to repeat.
