JL search

[Viktor Varkulya]

I’m using joomla 3.9.25 and the Edu template, the pro version. I want to use the JL Search particle and i don’t know how to sync the search menu item with the particle. If anyone can explain how make the JL Search particle work?

Hi.
I have the same problem. The joomla search engine works, but JL Search shows the home page

“I have the same problem. The joomla search engine works, but JL Search shows the home page”
Could you please create a search result (menu item) and let me know if it works ?

[Paweł]

The joomla search module has a choice:
Set ItemID − To display the search result, itemID is assigned by selecting menu item.

JL Search does not have it 🙁

How to display search results on a new page in Joomla?

[Tony]

“Set ItemID − To display the search result, itemID is assigned by selecting menu item.”
That why you need to create a SEARCH RESULT MENU ITEM to display the search result for the search form particle.
Take a look https://joomlead.com/g5/docs/search-particle-documentation/ and https://docs.joomla.org/Help39:Menus_Menu_Item_Search_Results
You can create a hidden menu then add new menu item with menu item type -> Search -> Search Form or Search Result

Could you please provide the site address so I can take a look on it ?

Will I get an answer to my question? Please check out the particle demo. The search result is set to the old start page. And adding a subpage as a search engine does not work.

Open jlsearch.html.twig line 85 replace
action="{{ gantry.siteUrl() }}/index.php/component/search/"
with
action="{{ gantry.siteUrl() }}/index.php?option=com_search&view=search/"

I changed it to the search engine alias in the menu and it’s ok

Let me know if you have any questions.
