search block directly leads to 404 page

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem. How did you worked it around ? I don't know how to use the path option.
Could you please help me...

Can you both try the latest dev and tell me if the bug is still there (without using the custom path, of course)?
Is this happening with the default search block as well or only with the custom search blocks?
What is the url generated when you're launching a search?

@WSeb : are you also using the ?q= argument in your site (no clean urls)?

Have same problem, funny thing is, i just installed this on another site running 6.19 this is running 6.20 I was getting 404 AND an invalid argument foreach[]. I just installed the dev, and the flag is gone, but still gets 404. I am using ?q= argument.

I set the search form as an exposed block, and it also heads to 404. I disabled the search in themes config prior to activating the custom_search module

You are welcome to access my site and server to figure this out

Please tell me if it's working as soon as you've tried the latest DEV version.
I've made changes to the redirection process since 1.6 (for multilingual sites), and I think there should be no more bugs with those changes.

I've tried myself without the clean urls, and it's working fine without the use of the custom search path.

I have the same problem to.

Setting a custom search-path does help, a little , but renders some other errors:

Notice: Undefined index: all in search_config_form_alter() (line 164 of /customers/mysite.com/mysite.com/httpd.www/sites/all/modules/search_config/search_config.module).
Notice: Undefined index: produkt in search_config_form_alter() (line 171 of /customers/mysite.com/mysite.com/httpd.www/sites/all/modules/search_config/search_config.module).

Recoverable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in DatabaseStatementBase->execute() (line 2039 of /customers/mysite.com/mysite.com/httpd.www/includes/database/database.inc).

Any clues anyone?

Setting a custom search path could be a workaround, but I'd prefer to find what's causing this bug first...
When you launch a search, what is the url it tries to go (and so leading to a 404)?
CAN you provide simple steps to reproduce the bug?

I already tried the search path workaround, but no luck.

This is the url the launched search is trying to reach:

http://foobar.com/search/node/thisismysearchterm%20type:product

I don't know if there's something else causing this problem.

I tried to install Apache Solr search in a few weeks ago, but could'nt get it up and
run, and now I can't remove it..

Thanks for your patience.

Sincerly,

I'm running latest dev version and having the same 404 problem.

the search box seems to add "fi" on to the url.. this seems to be the language code, i'm running the site in finnish language.

so it tries to go: /fi/search/node/test
but that doesn't exist, correct would be /search/node/test

@damas : do you use Clean urls? What should be the correct path?
@bastiansalmela : can you tell me what are your settings in Site configuration / Languages / Configure / Language negociation and in /admin/settings/language/edit/fi ? Multilingual sites are causing me a lot of headaches :-)

hmm, well, language settings for "fi" are pretty straight forward..
name "finnish", "suomi"
prefix "fi"
and from left to right.

i am not sure what you mean with the other settings.

english is other possible language, both are turned on, but finnish is default for site.
in "detection and selection" i havent touched anything. all the other boxes are turned off, except the lowest one "default".

let me know if there is anything else i can give you.

This fixed the issue for me. Will this be updated or is this "the fix"?

same problem here site running in german, no possibility to fix it apart from deactivation custom_search :(

@paulut:
well, i just commented out the line 399 in custom_search.module.. because we really only need one language and we are not using any prefixes.. so this is evil i know.

//if (count($languages) > 1) $base_redirect .= $GLOBALS['language']->prefix;

This has been an issue for me since 6.x-1.5, and it was driving me nuts. I thank carolaun for their post above as adding ?q=search/node/[key] into the custom search path has finally fixed my problem.

I am using IIS6 without clean urls.

Hi,
I've corrected once more my base url for multilingual and not-multilingual sites,
and pushed changes to DEV, for both 6.x and 7.x.
I've added support for sites without clean urls.

Please test & review.

Hello jdanthinne

This latest dev has fixed my issue now. Works here without adding anything in the custom search path.

I'm using D6 on IIS6 without clean url's non multilingual site.

Thanks
Michael

I'm experiencing this issue. I'm trying to add an external search path: http://wilmington.mvlc.org/opac/en-US/skin/default/xml/rresult.xml?rt=ke...|Library catalog

If I remove the http://, it saves. Otherwise I get this error:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /drupal/admin/config/search/custom_search on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I'm using the latest dev (July 11).

The redirect works on my local computer, but not on the server. ?

Hello,
I've install and tried the custom search DEV version, but the bug still there. It's not fixed for my configuration ( has explained here : http://drupal.org/node/1208630 )

The URL generated is : http://my-domain.frhttp//my-domain.fr/search/node/test

I've got clean url on multilingual site.

The problems occurs only when custom search is enabled.

Had to change line 401, in sites/all/modules/custom_search/custom.search.module :
$base_redirect = $GLOBALS['base_root'] . url();
by
$base_redirect = $GLOBALS['base_root'];

to make it work.

I've just pushed changes to DEV version, with a new way of generating the final URL (with the url() function only, not messing with base_root, etc.).
Please test and review (DEV will be available tomorrow), or use this patch : http://drupalcode.org/project/custom_search.git/patch/d9071f0 (D6) or http://drupalcode.org/project/custom_search.git/patch/c5e8bd6 (D7).

Closed #1536634: Multilingual site and submit search form as a duplicate of this issue. See also #1208630: Wrong redirect url on multilanguage site with language detection by domain.

This is an old issue. I'm marking it fixed but if you disagree, please update and provide additional information.
