How to redirect "search form" block to other search page than default

Would a possible solution be a configuration option in the search block asking to what page you want to submit it to?

If you want to do it yourself you should probably write a submit handler for the search form and reset the redirect there
my_module_form_search_submit()

function my_module_form_search_block_form_alter($form, &$form_state) {
  $form['#submit'][] = 'my_module_search_block_form_submit';
}

function my_module_search_block_form_submit($form, $form_alter) {
  //modify the redirect path here
}

This should work,

Wouldn't it be better for each search page to have it's own search form block?

Yes it would be,

but we are in search of people that would love to create this functionality. Are you interested? :-)

@Nick_vh I would be interested in help with this. Do you have a general idea about how you would like it to work?

There is a tab search pages/blocks.

I'd love to see this decoupled and an easy way to manage search blocks/clone search blocks in the same manner as possible with the more like this block. However, we do not aim to replicate "views" alike blocks so the specs of each block should be well defined

For now we can start with making the search block a bit more dynamic and then hook into this cleaner function to make different versions of them

This is already implemented in 6.x-3.x. It could be as simple as a small config in the settings tab

I would like to help with this. Is this just a port of 6.x-3.x to 7.x-1.x? Any ideas where I should start?

tobi, yes you could try to do something similar?

Let us know how you are progressing! Thanks

hey there,

has any progress been made in this regard?

cheers,
Luciano

hey there,

I've studied your code from versions 6.x-3.x and 7.x-1.x and ported that functionality. please test the patch.

I realise it's not the decoupling - yet! - but at least users can have a choice of search page redirection. ;)

cheers,
Luciano

Thanks a million, luco. Works like charme on my D7

glad to hear! :) not sure this contribution is what the maintainers are after, but let's hope it gets incorporated.

I tested the patch submitted in #13. It is working alright when I select Core Search or a custom search page. However, there is some error when I select drupal core search. On selecting drupal core search I am getting page not found and an error:

Notice: Undefined index: drupal_core in apachesolr_search_form_search_submit() (line 1559 of /var/www/test_site/sites/all/modules/custom/apachesolr/apachesolr_search.module).

@luco I saw your patch, in apachesolr_search.admin.inc you are doing:
$options['drupal_core'] = t('Drupal Core Search');
Is this necessary? You can configure default search from admin/config/search/settings, so I guess Drupal core search option is not necessary in the admin form.

@luco I have made certain changes to your patch. I am removing this option:
$options['drupal_core'] = t('Drupal Core Search');
because I think it is not necessary, and a similar setting already exists in default drupal search.

Very sorry. Patch not uploaded correctly. Uploading it again.

drupal_core is not a valid default search page, Better would be to take the first one from the list with a preference for drupal_core. I think we'll make it possible soon to remove that one page. A little further you use the variable to define this default page with the apachesolr_search_default_search_page() function.
