Problem with search

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi,

I'm having a problem displaying search result to another page.
Whenever I check to box to post the results to another page then use the page picker to select a page it doesn't save it. I can see that I selected the page correctly and click save but when I go back to edit the block the box is unchecked.

If I enter the page name manually by typing /search-result (which is the name of the page) it is saved but when I'm redirected to the page I don't see the search results even though there's a search block in the page.

Anyone know why that might be?

Thanks,

Nicolas

I had EXACTLY the same problem.
1. The page picker does not work. Forget about it. Type the location manually.

2. On the result page the search block must be in the main area, and deleted from the header.

In order to see the search results I had to delete the block from main as well, and rename the page to "search". Just like you I had "search-results" as the original name, and it didn't work.
Could have been a cache problem, but...

Here is the answer that I received from C5mix support:

Make sure in the search block in the header, you pick Post to Another page and in the field, put /search (or whatever the url is to your search page. it must have the / at the beginning). Then put the a search block in the main content area on the Search page and have it display results on that page. Make sure to remove the search block from the header on that page.

Great... That worked... It must be related to the page name somehow as my block was already in the main area...

Anyway... Thanks for the answer !
