Search not working and Search.tpl is missing

[FalleNNN]

Hello

Some time ago i wanted to install prestashop on my site yet i've encountered a problem. Whenever i use the search bar, 500 error shows up(it worked fine before).

Unfortunately i dont know how presta and other html stuff works, i just know enough to handle most of the things yet i can't handle this one and can't find any solution.

I've tried the debugging mode and the only thing i know is that Search.tpl file is missing. Reinstalling prestashop did not help me. I am running version 1.7.6.3.

This is the exception that pops up "No template found for /home/.../themes/classic/search.tpl"

Looking forward to your suggestions.

Why not copy the search.tpl from a PS1.7.6.3 archive to where it is missing?

I have the same problem but in Debug-Mode my error-message is:

No template found for search.tpl at line 68 in file classes/Smarty/TemplateFinder.php
Line 68: throw new PrestaShopException('No template found for ' . $template);

I have the same problem but in Debug-Mode my error-message is:

No template found for search.tpl at line 68 in file classes/Smarty/TemplateFinder.php
Line 68: throw new PrestaShopException('No template found for ' . $template);

My Template is "EDLINK" from Prestashop-Store.

check if you have the search.tpl file in themes/your_theme/templates/catalog/listing/, if not find it in your theme archive and copy it there; if your theme archive doesn't have it you can try with the one in themes/classic/templates/catalog/listing/search.tpl although each theme customizes its own and the classic's one might not fit 100%..

Thank you, but unfortunately there is no difference between both files only one line of code:
{extends file='catalog/listing/product-list.tpl'}

I can see my template 'edlink' (developer: aei) uses:
<form action="search" data-search-controller-url="/modules/aeisearchproducts/SearchProducts.php" ...>
in \\modules\aeisearchproducts\views\templates\hook\aeisearch.tpl
> the result is Error 500

BUT if I use the URL from Prestashop Demo-Shop in form action-tag which is:
<form action="//shrewd-snake.demo.prestashop.com/en/search">
in \\modules\aeisearchproducts\views\templates\hook\aeisearch.tpl
there is no error, it jumps to that search-result URL an shows correctly the no-results-page information.

How and where do I have to make changes please that prestashop uses his standard search-template and not the (AEI Edlink) search-template
like if I use the Prestashop-Demo-Search? Like how to eliminate all search functions from template and only use standard-search?

it is very likely that this edilink theme is using its own search in several places, I can't tell all of theme since I do not know the theme.

But the recommended way would be for you to contact the theme's developers and have them fix the them issues, Isuppose you bought it therefore you're entitled to free support.

Otherwise you ahve to look in the theme's templated for this form action they use and substitute it with  the default prestashop search form call.

Thank you Rhobur, but there was no working solution. All the files were ok. After re-installing Prestashop, manually importing csv from products, categories, /img-folder (like it came from a non-prestashop-installation) and finally installing 'edlink'-Template and 'edlink'-configuration everything works fine. Looks like the DB had any wrong information!?

[Rhobur]

Possibly! Most likely the first install/configuration were not exactly right.

Glad you solved it. please edit your first post's title and add [SOLVED in front so it can help other people with a similar issue.
