Store search not working

[von Papst]

I've upgraded from 1.5.6.2 to 1.6.0.14 and since upgrade store search is not working anymore. I've rebuilt index several times but it doesn't help. Any help appreciated.

Do you get any error?
Were you using overrides for the search class? If not, I would try getting a clean .14 and replacing classes/Search.php and the SearchController.php file as well, in controllers/front/

[pishkus]

Please explain what do you mean by "search is not working". Does the search result page return 0 results, or the results page gives an error, or the quick search list is not working, or is there something else?

[von Papst]

When I enter search term in search field I get 0 results on page. BUT when on search results page and I enter SAME search term I get proper results. Any suggestions? You can try go to www.uniq4pet.eu and enter search term pegus. 

[pishkus]

Looks like you are using instant search? Preferences -> Search ->Search -> Instant search set to Yes?

 

On the homepage of your website, there is a javascript error:

Error: ReferenceError: comparedProductsIds is not defined
Source File: https://www.uniq4pet.eu/themes/theme1184/cache/v_15_751f1d5c3624b0ee6ccd4dfa1bb14f62.js
Line: 418

 

And as there is javascript error, other script is not executed thus instant search is not working. On other pages, e.g. category page, instant search is working.

[von Papst]

So should I set instant search to off?

[pishkus]

Please try to turn it off and lets see how that works. Although you still should correct that javascript error.

[von Papst]

Well if I was the author of JS I would. OK now I got Ajax search enabled and instant search disabled.

[pishkus]

Still no good...

Have you tried Nemo1 suggestion? Do you have any search related overrides?

[von Papst]

Changed as suggested but no luck.

[pishkus]

Please open the file cache/class_index.php, find the code like the one below, and paste it here.

  'Search' => 
  array (
    'path' => '',
    'type' => 'class',
    'override' => false,
  ),
  'SearchController' => 
  array (
    'path' => 'override/controllers/front/SearchController.php',
    'type' => 'class',
    'override' => false,
  ),
  'SearchControllerCore' => 
  array (
    'path' => 'controllers/front/SearchController.php',
    'type' => 'class',
    'override' => false,
  ),
  'SearchCore' => 
  array (
    'path' => 'classes/Search.php',
    'type' => 'class',
    'override' => false,
  ),
  'SearchEngine' => 
  array (
    'path' => '',
    'type' => 'class',
    'override' => false,
  ),
  'SearchEngineCore' => 
  array (
    'path' => 'classes/SearchEngine.php',
    'type' => 'class',
    'override' => false,
  ),

[von Papst]

Checked this part of the code. There are no overrides there and code is as you suggested.

[pishkus]

There is on override In the code I provided. Ar you saying your code is exactly the same as mine?

 

Also, is your custom template designed for PS 1.6 or were you using it on PS 1.5 ?

[von Papst]

Now it is your code as you proposed. No improvements. (I cleared cache and enable force recompilation to make sure).

Template is developed for PS 1.6 on version 1.5 I had other template.

[pishkus]

Sorry, maybe I was not clear before, but I am not asking to put my code into your file. I wanted you to show me a fragment of your code from your file.

Please undo all the changes you made to the file. You can simple delete that file, because it's a cache file and will be generated automatically.

[von Papst]

Here it is.

  'Search' =>
  array (
    'path' => '',
    'type' => 'class',
    'override' => false,
  ),
  'SearchController' =>
  array (
    'path' => '',
    'type' => 'class',
    'override' => false,
  ),
  'SearchControllerCore' =>
  array (
    'path' => 'controllers/front/SearchController.php',
    'type' => 'class',
    'override' => false,
  ),
  'SearchCore' =>
  array (
    'path' => 'classes/Search.php',
    'type' => 'class',
    'override' => false,
  ),
  'SearchEngine' =>
  array (
    'path' => '',
    'type' => 'class',
    'override' => false,
  ),
  'SearchEngineCore' =>
  array (
    'path' => 'classes/SearchEngine.php',
    'type' => 'class',
    'override' => false,
  ),

[pishkus]

Have you tried switching to the default theme? Maybe the search in the default theme will be working fine, so we would know that the problem is with the template, not the core files...

[von Papst]

Also tried. Doesn't work. I also had different 1.6 template for the shop and there also didn't work. 

[von Papst]

Today I tried and it is working. don't ask me how and why but it works. I didn't change anything. if you just enter search words it works. If you hit enter it doesn't. Weird.

[von Papst]

Got it!

 

It was a faulty NGINX configuration to blame! Now everything works perfectly.

Hi,

 

The ajax search in my home page is not working. It works perfectly in all other pages. 

On entering the search keyword, request url is http://localhost/prestashop/en/search.html?q=mixtu&limit=10&timestamp=1437633759429&ajaxSearch=1&id_lang=1 

which is wrong, It must be 

http://localhost/prestashop/en/search?q=mixtu&limit=10&timestamp=1437633759429&ajaxSearch=1&id_lang=1 .

 

There should not be any .html .Why does it happens? Please help me.

[NemoPS]

Hard to inspect since you're on localhost.
WHat if you disable ajax? Just to check if it's a pure javascript issue, or it's the variable being overridden there
