search results path seems incorrect

[dcrobertson01]

Greetings,
When I search I get no results. If I am on a page /this/page, and I use the search box, I get this page

https://server/this/page?searchfield=minim+veniam

and no results.

If I go to /search and search from there, I get this page

`https://server/search?searchfield=minim+veniam'

and no results.

If I enter

https:/server/search/query:minim veniam I get a page with some results on it.

I don't see where this path is set. I see it in the javascript file - and appears to be set on the form correctly.

<form name="search" data-simplesearch-form="">
        <input name="searchfield" class="search-input" type="text" min="3" required="" placeholder="Search …" value="" data-search-invalid="Please add at least 3 characters" data-search-separator=":" data-search-input="/public_html/search/query">
                    <button type="submit" class="search-submit">
                <img src="/user/plugins/simplesearch/assets/search.svg">
            </button>
            </form>

Any help would be appreciated

you need to load the js.
{% do assets.addJs('plugins://simplesearch/js/simplesearch.js') %}

Where do I need to load the js?
It does not work when I just create a search page and write this

{% do assets.addJs('plugins://simplesearch/js/simplesearch.js') %}
{% include 'partials/simplesearch_searchbox.html.twig' %}

and I don't want to load it inside the base file because I only want to load it when I need it.

Why is this not mentioned in the documentation?
Including the js file seems mandatory for the plugin to work. Why is this not mentions in the doc? I have got the feeling I'm missing something obvious.

The JS controls the search form. so any where you have the search bar you need the JS. I have not searched to find out why it does not loading from the plugin. (line 300 in simplesearch.php). but I loaded it in my "base.html.twig" file in the assets block.

{% block javascripts %}
      {% do assets.addJs('theme://bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js') %}
      {% do assets.addJs('theme://bower_components/what-input/what-input.min.js') %}
      {% do assets.addJs('theme://bower_components/foundation-sites/dist/js/foundation.min.js') %}
      {% do assets.addJs('plugins://simplesearch/js/simplesearch.js') %}
      {% do assets.addJs('theme://dist/scripts/main.min.js') %}
  {% endblock %}
  {{ assets.js() }}

</body>
</html>

Putting line to do assets does not help me. Only function variant for me is to have script and input field together:

<script src="/grav/user/plugins/simplesearch/js/simplesearch.js"></script>

{% include 'partials/taxonomylist.html.twig' with {base_url: '/blog', taxonomy: 'tag'} %}

I had the same issue

I fixed my issue with search not working, when embedded in a page (it worked on its own, but not when the search form was embedded in a page).

Bear in mind my fix applies to the Gantry5 Framework & Hydrogen theme, but it might work for you.

The issue was that the Javascript was not loading.

I change the page.html.twig template to include this piece of code on line 65

{%- do gantry.document.addScript(url('/DxChange/user/plugins/simplesearch/js/simplesearch.js'), 11, 'footer') -%}

This results in the javascript being loaded in the HTML (check the code source) near the footer

<script src="/DxChange/user/plugins/simplesearch/js/simplesearch.js"></script>

Subsequently the search works ! Et voila :-)

PS: replace "DXChange" with your website name
