Search result problem

Hey Ross, thank you for this great plugin.
I’m creating a website for a dealership based on a template.
Search includes both taxonomies and post metas. When I search for metas only(price) leaving taxonomies untouched(all makes/models, all styles…) Search result page looks like a blog.
One of the taxonomies has to be choose for the search result page to look like a cars list.
Apologies for my bad English, here are couple of links:
http://cars.arpidesign.com/?_sfm_mileage=74000+244000&_sfm_price=0+300000&sfid=2bi (meta only)
http://cars.arpidesign.com/vehicle-type/suvs/?_sfm_mileage=0+300000&_sfm_price=0+300000&sfid=2bi (a taxonomy chosen).
Thanks for your help in advance and THANK YOU for the great plugin.

Hey Vartan

* Just moved this over to the support forum, not feature requests

Yes this problem is easily fixed, please make sure that you tick the box “use custom template”, and that the filename is “search.php”..

They you will get correct formatting

Also, it is a good idea to add in a “slug” so your results appear on nice URL.

Thanks

Thank you for response.
Actually i’ve tried that, but it makes worse and all the search results look like blog post after that:
http://cars.arpidesign.com/search/
http://cars.arpidesign.com/cars/?_sfm_mileage=0+300000&_sfm_price=0+300000

Thank you!

In this case you do not like the search.php template…

You can try another template in your theme such as archive.php or index.php ?

Have a look inside you theme folder and try out the filenames of your different templates until the results are formatted how you like

Let me know if this works

Hi Ross,
I’m using a Pro version bought right now.
I have trouble with the search form. I verified that my theme use search.php as form but unfortunately not work.

Second issue: I’m not a coder then I thought that Pro version would have had the same layout (horizontal ) as the free one. Well, the horizontal one is good and simple for my theme, ho does I can use this layout with pro version ?
Or, is there any “how to” for modify css to modify the search form layout ? I want use it in the page and not in the sidebar.

Free version layout image: http://screencast.com/t/6e6sCLA2rbyx
Thanks for help
