Search engine problems in 2.9.2

[Ben]

Has anyone else noticed search engine problems in Contao 2.9.2? I have thoroughly tested this over several different installs and concluded that the search engine module went bonk on 2.9.2, but works properly on 2.9.1.

The problem in 2.9.2 is that no search results are shown beneath the form. Unfortunately the official Contao demo is still on 2.9.1, so I can't verify the problem there.

The reason I discovered this is my client just called and asked if I could add a search engine to their site. So, I logged in, upgraded to 2.9.2 and added the module. I spent about a half hour clearing cache, checking all search settings, and banging my head on the keyboard. Then I realized the problem was introduced in the new version (I believe). What are the chances of that happening?

Quick update: Uploading this file from 2.9.1 to an install of 2.9.2 is a good temporary fix of the problem. The file is: /system/modules/frontend/ModuleSearch.php

Hi Ben,

I've tested now Contaos build-in search engine in my local installation (XAMPP, fresh install of Contao 2.9.2, website template "Music Academy") and there it works fine.

Thanks to Blair for figuring this one out! You just need to unset the Redirect page in 2.9.2 ... at least for now.

Hi Ben- Go to your Search Engine module and unset your Redirect Page. It's because of this on line 128:

if ($this->jumpTo < 1 && $strKeywords != '' && $strKeywords != '*')

If it sees a value for your jumpTo page even though it is the same page you are on, it won't trigger the form. Unsetting that fixed my issue. It should just not be set anyhow...

If you set a redirect page, the module will redirect you instead of displaying the results. It was actually a bug in version 2.9.1 that the module did show the results even though there was a redirect page

Hm...And how can I get than to redirect it?

I have my search in the box, like contao forum (the top right corner) and on submitting the search btn there should be redirect to page with search result. But if I check redirect in BE there are no action, if I uncheck it, all results are displayed bellow the form.

Any solutions would be fine
