Site Search
I’m really happy with the redesign of the Wandering Italy Blog, as it seems to be twice as fast as before. There are a few issues I need to fix but one that has me stumped is that when I use site search for a term that doesn’t appear on the site I get a pretty blank page with just the title. There isn’t a “no search matches” displayed when that occurs, which I’d expect because I’m using the stock search_display form and only the title and pagination from it seem to work. Any clues?

Re: Site Search
It looks like this part of your search_display is either missing or not processed, please check:
<txp:if_search_results>
<!-- if search result count greater than 200 then display excessive results message, otherwise show search result count -->
<txp:if_search_results max="200">
<h3>
<txp:search_result_count />
<txp:text item="matching_search_request" />
<q><txp:search_term /></q>
</h3>
<txp:else />
<h3>
<txp:text item="too_common_search_term" />
<q><txp:search_term /></q>
</h3>
</txp:if_search_results>
<!-- if no search results, then display no search results message -->
<txp:else />
<h3>
<txp:text item="no_search_matches" />
</h3>
</txp:if_search_results>Offline

It’s there, it’s just not being processed.

Intriguing. What txp version are you using, 4.8.4 or 4.8.5? Anyway
- check whether all files have been uploaded ok (via Diagnostics)
- check eventual error messages in Debug mode
- check
secondpasspreference value (intxp_prefstable) if set - replace the opening
<txp:if_search_results>with<txp:if_search_results[-1]>to try to fix it manually

Re: Site Search
It’s version 8.4, but my wife’s site, Martha’s Italy, is the same with an earlier version.
A relevant piece of the debugging, I think:
96.31 | | [ ~~~ secondpass (1) ~~~ ]
96.33 | | [true]
96.54 | 0.10 | <txp:if_search_results>
96.55 | | [true]
96.56 | 0.08 | <txp:if_search_results max="200">
96.58 | | [true]
96.59 | 0.02 | <txp:search_result_count />
96.61 | 0.02 | <txp:text item="matching_search_request" />
96.63 | 0.01 | <txp:search_term />
96.64 | | </txp:if_search_results>
96.65 | | </txp:if_search_results>
96.66 | | [ ~~~ secondpass (2) ~~~ ]
96.72 | 0.00 | [Callback_event: 'textpattern_end', step='', pre='0']Offline
Re: Site Search
Mystery. The parser seems to enter the block, but outputs nothing, not even <txp:text />. Not even this html comment (assuming it’s still in your search_display form):
<!-- if search result count greater than 200 then display excessive results message, otherwise show search result count -->And does outer <txp:if_search_results[-1]> not help?

Re: Site Search
Well, that did it. What does the -1 do?

Re: Site Search
Yeah, the site has some odd things going on at times I can’t explain either. Thanks very much for your help in coming up with a solution. I’m off to fix my wife’s site now…

Re: Site Search
Just in case this is a bug, I used the same fix on Martha’s Italy and the version is the same, 4.8.4.

Can not tell for sure, you seem to be the first person it bites. Sometimes it is plugins interference, or an atypical server config.
If you have a chance to test
<txp:php>
echo get_pref('secondpass', 1);
</txp:php>in some article or form, that might help.
