    Unhappy searchadv.aspx not working in ML9

    Hi

    I am having an issue with searchadv.aspx.... When I put a search term in the text box and press the submit button it doesn't update the URL and therefore doesn't update the results. Search.aspx works fine but the advanced search does not.

    I noticed in the search.aspx it uses the same control as the search box on the template but the searchadv.aspx does not.

    Any ideas on how to fix the searchadv.aspx (straight out of the box no mods made by me) as I really would like to use it.

    Thanks in advance

    I don't think the URL changes. Are you getting any results back at all?

    Even a "Your search did not result in any matches" return?

    Hi

    If I use the search box on the template and search for "bag" the url changes to "searchadv.aspx?searchterm=bag" and I get products show up that match the word bag. If on the searchadv.aspx page I decide to change the search term to "shoe" the page refreshes and the url stays the same "searchadv.aspx?searchterm=bag" and the results still show products relating to bags.

    If I do not use the search box and go straight to "searchadv.aspx" page and put a search term in the url does not change and still is "searchadv.aspx" and no results are shown.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Lindsay

    Do you have a website address that I can look at?

    Interesting...

    Have you tried running this searchadv.aspx page on your local server without the .co.uk domain?

    Hmmm... no not tried it locally yet, this is my staging server atm.

    It has occurred on all my other ML9 websites as well (i have 2 more) but this website is the only one i have upgraded to SP1 so far!

    It is a strange thing indeed! The more i work with ML9 the more bugs I find!! lol

    You should see how many we have found!

    Try accessing it on your server IP from your servers browser. Will be interested to see the results.

    Is this just a mismatch of fields?
    On your searchadv page you can research using the search box with no problems.

    Could your buttons be auto post back, than completely reloading the page?

    Hi

    I found a copy of ML9 on my local machine and the searchadv works... however it doesn't have the search control for quick search on the template which I think makes all the difference!

    I will now try an experiment without the search control and see if it works!

    Thanks for your help so far!

    Hi Lindsay

    Can you paste the code in your searchadv.aspx and searchadv.aspx.cs and message them to me so I can take a look

    Hi

    I replaced my modified page.searchadv.xml.config file with the one that worked on the local server and that seems to have solved the issue!

    It was my mods that must have been the issue, which were just styling really. However I will compare the 2 files and see what went wrong!

    Thanks for helping me work it through
