    Hey Sarah

    I’m not sure what the issue is with your theme but it sounds like you’re nearly there.

    If you enter a search term then remove the term from the URL, leaving only s= (ie so the search term is blank) do you get results?

    There is an option under the “advanced” tab, which forces is_search to be true, which will help with some themes!

    I hope this does the trick for you

    Thanks

    Hi Ross

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    I would do your test but my links are not being generated like your have specified, in fact they do not change at all even though I have set is_search, and a slug and made the url bookmarkable.

    I did some troubleshooting and I am pretty sure it is not my site. I tried disabling most of the plugins I could without affecting the site and removed my ajax page refresh code just to be sure they was no conflict between my ajax stuff & yours but the problem remained.

    I can give you access if you would like. I have tried endless combinations in the settings for the search and nothing seems to make it work.

    I think this is a superb plugin but I really need it to work obviously 😉

    Looking forward to your response.

    Hi Sarah

    It almost certainly sounds like your template – so if no search term is entered you get no results, but if a there is a search term you do?

    Head to the “display results” tab, make sure “use custom template” is ticked, and make sure the filename of the above template is specified.

    If, upon saving, the filename then disappears/resets then S&F couldn’t find your template (I am fixing this to show a warning in the next version)…

    If none of this works, sure send through the link.

    Thanks
