Search page from index.php

    Hello, I have installed your plugin on wordpress. The problem is, the template for the wordpres site didn’t have a search.php page or a searchform.php page so I had to create one from scratch.
    Here’s the link to the one I created http://pastebin.com/1kwHtAyT

    I’ve entered your search form code to a page to test it. 

    <form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" class="searchform" action="http://compass.itcilo.org/">
<label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">Search for:</label>
<input type="text" value="" name="s" id="s" />
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
</form>

    But instead of returning with the search.php it returns with the index.php and it’s a mess. How can I fix this?

    Sorry, but no idea – that template seems fine to me.

    Ok sorry, I was just testing it through the wrong backend. I have created now a search.php file but the attributes in it aren’t exactly the same as the ones in the other pages. I have the get_header order but the header is not the one shown on other pages. I was wondering if there is a way to redirect the search to a page instead of the blank search template that forms when calling the search.php file.

    Also, the search doesn’t seem to be indexing all the entries. How can I make sure that it has indexed everything?

    Greetings,

    Hey, sorry to write again. I’ve solved the problems above but the header is still not the one shown in the other pages when I type certain words on the search form, like learning. Is it because it is a learning platform and there are so many search results with learning on them that it kind of “breaks” the site? I haven’t created the theme so I really can’t know what’s going on there.

    If a theme doesn’t have a search.php file, then the search is directed to index.php.

    To make sure search has indexed everything, click “Continue indexing”, until Relevanssi says the index is complete.

    I don’t know how your theme works, and figuring that out is unfortunately outside the scope of the support I can offer for Relevanssi.
