[Pro] Simple Site Search problem (works only once)

I have tried several time to install the following steps in order to get the ‘simple site search’ working in FWPro 6:

1 - add the Simple Site Search as a Folder action to the site folder
2 - select a form search field and then Item>Actions>Simple Site Search
3 - on a page in your site Insert>Action>Simple Site Search (creates an HTML box to display results)

After having these stamps don I tried the site search on the live site. It worked once. after doing a next site search nothing happened, no response at all.

Any advice in this?

A link to your page online might help.

If you have another form on your search page that can cause problems.

As I suspected - more than 1 form on the page.

Subscribe is another form.

Try using the Multiple Form action Multiple Form - ActionsForge

There are quite a few threads on FWT about fixes for this - here is one

This gets complicated I see.

Wondering if the "site search action’ really adds functionality

Anyhow strange that one moment it worked and than the other moment not anymore.

Start by removing the subscribe form from that one page and see if it works then.

It is quite good idea to have a link to a Search page - and on that search page you make sure that Simple Search is the only form there.

If you want the Subscribe button to appear on every page that Simple Search appears then you do need to do some more work.

Simple Site Search is a very useful Action, for static sites of a certain size. It’s definitely not Google, but it can provide a touch of polish to the user experience, at little or no cost (of your time). I recommend that you look at my Simple Site Search Helper Action, at ActionsForge. Follow the directions carefully, and see if that cleans up your issue with the multiple forms. What it does is keep the Simple Site Search from “hijacking” your page form or being hijacked by another form. Instead of using a full form submission, it uses a JavaScript location redirect to send your users’ search request to the search handler page. This keeps the forms from conflicting.

That certainly makes the whole Simple Site Search/other form conflict so much easier to deal with.

This Simple Site Search Helper Action really did it and made it work now.
Thanks a lot!
