help with search.php

What’s the actual problem? I can’t read Israeli so can’t see what’s happening when you search for something from within the site. What actually happens when you search from deeper in the site?

when i search from a single post its simply
redirect me to the home page
(which has no wordpress elements)

also after i enter a search term the url of the
page stayes with the adress of the original single
post i searched from page plus the ending ?s=term

by the way.. this is the search.php script i got

<ul class="list-category">
<?php if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="categorypost">
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<div class="entry">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

<p class="postmetadata">
<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/mini-category.jpg" alt="????? ????" style="vertical-align: text-bottom"> <?php the_category(', ') ?><?php edit_post_link('?????', ' | ', ''); ?><br>

<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/tags.jpg" alt="????? ????" style="vertical-align: text-bottom"> <?php the_tags( '' . __('', '') . ' ', ', ', ''); ?><br>

<?php if (pings_open()) : ?><span id="trackback-link"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/link-arrow.jpg" alt="?????" style="vertical-align: text-bottom"> <a href="<?php trackback_url() ?>" rel="trackback"><?php the_title('', ''); ?></a></span><?php endif; ?>
</p>
</div>
</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

</ul>

is it looking for some specific page to display results in?
and why does it work when i search from home page but not
from othere pages…

The problem lies in searchform.php, it’s the action set on the form.

All search requests should go through the index, ie. your site url, example.com/ and not example.com/some-post-name/.

The form action should read..

action="<?php bloginfo('siteurl'); ?>"

..which i’d guess it currently does not..

wow your right.. but.. i changed it and it didnt help ??

here is the searchform.php current code:

<form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('siteurl'); ?>">
<div>
	<input type="text" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>" name="s" id="s" /><br />
    <input type="submit" value="?????" id="searchsubmit" />
</div>
</form>

here is a link to an inner page:
inner page

here is a search term you can paste to the field: ???????

maybe the problem is that i dont have any wordpress code embedded in the home page but i dont want to integrate any..

if i would make a searchresults.php page – would it matter?

tried to edit but didnt find how..
this is the right searchfrom code

<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="https://israelguide.org/">
<div>
	<input type="text" value="" name="s" id="s" /><br />
    <input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
</div>
</form>

since my last message i have changed the home page to static page
instead of a pure php i wrote my self.. so now its a system page..
its better right?

but.. that didnt help ??
i am stuck… HELP (plz)

Hi,

The code in your response further up was correct.

<form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('siteurl'); ?>">
<div>
	<input type="text" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>" name="s" id="s" /><br />
    <input type="submit" value="?????" id="searchsubmit" />
</div>
</form>

However, this is what i see on the page you linked above..

<form action="" id="searchform">

Notice the action is missing, and the form attributes are positioned differently.

Do you have any other files with the search code in?

wow.. i see it now…

didn’t noticed this at all even tough
i stared at the code for a good while..hehe

you totally saved me
i entered <?php bloginfo(‘siteurl’); ?> in thier
and it works!!

Thanks a bunch hope i could repay you someday ??

Cheers, Sagive

You’re welcome.. ??
