Hi Ross,
I figured out something: Base problem is the fact, that I set the Woocommerce shop page to show categories & subcategories, rather than products. With this setting the search does not work at all. This is a problem, as I have to show the categories on the shop page first, and visitors should use either the search or select directly one of the categories to see all items inside.
But even when I switch the shop page to “show products” in Woocommerce, the search is not working. What I have to do after Submit is a reload of the page – only then the search results are shown!
Ringing a bell?
Thanks!
Klaus
