i changed the theme from wootique to storefront, and search is working

problem is i really liked wootique :-S

There is a setting in wootique to choose search scope – ensure it’s set to ‘products’

it was set to ‘products’, i changed to ‘post’ and then back again.. no joy

The action of the form is your home_url() (for my ref https://github.com/woothemes/wootique/blob/968ef6377f99ac5451e7c2023b8c721656b1ff56/includes/theme-woocommerce.php#L46).

Is your site and home URL different?

the site is currently https://123.456.789/myebsite.com/ obv it will ultimately be https://mywebsite.com ..is that what you mean?

Yes, the form action is home_url() – so this may just be wrong on your test site.

thanks for your help, mike. how do i check that?

I think it may be wrong until you put it on the final domain.

ok.. let it sit until get it live .. will update in due course, thanks again Mike

website is now live https://www.phsecurity.net as you predicted Mike search is working.. im trying to figure out how to drop the catalogue from the ‘products’ page apart from that and the fact the site isn’t responsive everything is great ??
