Search results disappeared

vickilh · 2013-05-30 17:01:28

Our search has been working for years, but suddenly we noticed that we were no longer getting any search results. I haven’t changed anything in a while. I’m stumped.

The search result count still displays, but no articles are listed below this.

Here’s what we’ve got:

  <txp:if_search>
        <txp:article pgonly="1" />
        <txp:search_result_count /></b></p>
	<txp:article sortby="Posted" sortdir="desc" form="search_results" />	
        </txp:if_search>

If I change txp:article to txp:article_custom, it will then write out a bunch of results, but including a bunch of wrong ones.

Here’s Our site

Any ideas/ help would be greatly appreciated!

can you also post the search_results form?

Here’s the search_results form:

<h2><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h2>
<p style="margin-bottom:18px"><txp:search_result_excerpt /><br/>
<small><txp:permlink><txp:permlink /></txp:permlink> &middot;
<txp:posted /></small></p>

Thanks!

What happens if you change your code to

<txp:if_search>
<txp:article pgonly="1" searchall="0" />
<txp:if_search_results>
<txp:search_result_count />
</txp:if_search_results>
<txp:article sortby="Posted" sortdir="desc" form="search_results" />	
</txp:if_search>

Still no results are listed. – Now the search result count also doesn’t show up.

This is so odd!

Ok, could you switch your site to debug mode, someone here will be able to spot what’s wrong through that.

vickilh · 2013-05-30 18:55:14

ok – will my site still work as usual?

colak · 2013-05-30 18:58:39

It will depend if there are bugs in your code:)

Could we coordinate this so that it’s in debug mode for X number of minutes? I’ll email you my info.

In my judgement this is not a standard Textpattern search, it seems to be customized. Is it possible that it looks only in the section “Search”? Look at the URL of a search result.
There is a tag in the source code that might cause this: <input type="hidden" name="s" value="Search" />.
Also, I’m a bit stumped about the result when I enter a normal query like http://chapelhillpubliclibrary.org/txp/?q=media into the URL field. Just try.

It’s 10.30pm here. Tomorrow might be better.

It’s all pretty weird, especially when you consider that it’s been working for years!

uli · 2013-05-30 20:00:44

vickilh, there’s something commented out where the search results normally would appear:
Search for ,
(immediately before a )

Move the closing part upwards so that it’s

Ok, tomorrow!?

(criss-crossing in cyber-space) – Uli, I took out all that commented code around search results area earlier today. Now all of that looks like this:

	<div id="submenu">
<!-- TXP Section Name -->
	<h3><span><txp:page_url type="s" /></span></h3>					 
	</div>	
	<div id="contenttext" class="searchresults">
	<h3>Search Results</h3>
<!-- TXP Article -->
        <p><b>
  <txp:if_search>
        <txp:article pgonly="1" />
        <txp:search_result_count /></b></p>
	<txp:article sortby="Posted" sortdir="desc" form="search_results" />	
        </txp:if_search>		
	</div>
