Search term not displayed in searchbox after results loaded

    Hi Mikko –

    Great plugin. I will register by the end of the month.

    After my search results are displayed, the search term is no longer displayed in the search box. Without Relevanssi (standard WP search) the last-used search term is shown in the search box.

    I am likely doing something wrong. Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Can you show me the code of that search box? If it uses get_search_query(), that should work just fine with Relevanssi.

    Thanks for the reply, Mikko.

    No, it does not use get_search_query() but, the input field is named ‘s’. Isn’t that all I need?

    Here is the search form code:

    <form class="" role="search" name="thisSiteSearch" accept-charset="utf-8"
			action="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>">
   <div class="jdsSearch_contnr" style="margin-top:-33px;border-style:none;">
      <span class="mySearchBox"  style="margin-top:5px;">
         <input type="text" name="s" id="mySearchTextFld" class="mySearchTextFld" title="Search for..."  placeholder="<?php esc_attr_e( '  Search for skill, name, company, etc.', 'views_base' ); ?>" value="<?php esc_attr_e( $search_text ); ?>" size="10"  />
      </span>
      <button type="submit" name="mySearchGoBtn"  id="mySearchGoBtn"> &nbsp;Go&nbsp;</button>
   </div>
</form>

    No, it isn’t. The value shown in the search box is determined by the value parameter of the input field. Your search box is printing out the variable $search_text that should contain the search query.

    So, if you add $search_text = get_search_query(); before the search form, that should solve the problem.

    Cool.
    Works great.
    I just hit up my non-profit client to register.

    Thanks, Mikko!
