Search module doesn't work

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hi,

I have the regular search module on this template and it won't function when you click the magnifying glass or the keyboard return key.

Thanks,
Helen

Hi Helen,

Have you tried troubleshooting with turning off modules and plugins that are working on this page?

Also tried switching to a default joomla template?

Cheers

Hi Paul,

Doesn't work on Prostar with no other modules. :(

So it is not template related... Got any ideas?

I'd be turning off plugins and modules I'm afraid

My prime suspect would be modules / plugins near it and the trip advisor one

Nope. That wasn't it.

I just checked a few other sites and it doesn't work in those either.

The search doesn't work in several different sites?

The search works with a menu link to the search page. But the search module doesn't work in any J3.x site I have. Smart search works fine though.

Does it matter what position?

I might just switch back for this site. The others I have on smart search anyway.

Thanks Paul

not seen this before - do you have caching enabled on the site or server?

Hi Helen,
I get the bottom one working when I click on the search button and click enter. Are you seeing that as well now?

Yes, the bottom one is Smart Search. But my events extension uses regular search so I was trying to get the top one working. I will rename to avoid confusion.

Did the normal search work when smart search wasn't enabled?

Or has it ever worked?

In extension manager, I have disabled the opposite search for each and tested. Made no difference.

As far as I can remember the regular search used to work... but I can't swear to that.

Yeth. Search works on it's own page, just the module doesn't respond to clicking the search button/icon or keyboarding "return".
