I have tried to include the simple form on my text site but it only seems to work if you type in a keyword that isnt in any of the entries.
I have copied my code below for my search field:
{exp:search:simple_form channel="{channel_content}" results="20" result_page="/search/results" no_result_page="/search/no-results" search_in="everywhere" where="any"}
<input type="text" name="keywords" id="keywords" class="form-control" placeholder="Search">
<span class="input-group-btn">
<input type="submit" class="btn-u" value="Go" />
</span> {/exp:search:simple_form}
And below this is the code for the search template:
{exp:switchee variable="{segment_2}" parse="inward"}
{case value="no-results"}
{search_message_no_results}
{/case}
{case default="yes"}
<table border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" width="100%">
<tr>
<th>{lang:title}</th>
<th>{lang:excerpt}</th>
<th>{lang:author}</th>
<th>{lang:date}</th>
<th>{lang:total_comments}</th>
<th>{lang:recent_comments}</th>
</tr>
{exp:search:search_results switch="resultRowOne|resultRowTwo"}
<tr class="{switch}">
<td width="30%" valign="top"><b><a href="{auto_path}">{title}</a></b></td>
<td width="30%" valign="top">{excerpt}</td>
<td width="10%" valign="top"><a href="{member_path='member/index'}">{author}</a></td>
<td width="10%" valign="top">{entry_date format="%m/%d/%y"}</td>
<td width="10%" valign="top">{comment_total}</td>
<td width="10%" valign="top">{recent_comment_date format="%m/%d/%y"}</td>
</tr>
{if count == total_results}
</table>
{/if}
{paginate}
<p>Page {current_page} of {total_pages} pages {pagination_links}</p>
{/paginate}
{/exp:search:search_results}
{/case}
{/exp:switchee}
I am also using the switchee add on if that helps.
Thanks Jordan
