Item9181: Natsearch not working correctly with Search field

Priority:	CurrentState:	AppliesTo:	Component:	WaitingFor:
Normal	New	Extension	NatSkinPlugin, NatSkin

After the update to latest natskin a search over the upper right Search field, does not call natsearch anymore. For example searching for "findme" gives

/bin/view/Main/WebSearch?jump=on;origtopic=Main.WebHome;search=findme

before it was

/bin/natsearch/Main/WebHome?limit=100&search=findme

Note, this problem is different for the one reported in Question333, Item8368, Item958.

What I have:

• all Plugins up-to-date
• NatSkin (6419 (2010-02-17))
• NatSkinPlugin (3.96, $Rev: 6287 (2010-02-12) $)
• NatEditPlugin (v4.21, $Rev: 6336 (2010-02-15) $)
• NatSkin (6419 (2010-02-17))
• in LocalSite.cfg

  $Foswiki::cfg{SwitchBoard}{natsearch} = [
            'Foswiki::Plugins::NatSkinPlugin::Search',
            'searchCgi',
            {
              'natsearch' => 1
            }
          ];
  

• /bin/natsearch is executable.

What I see after searching for "findme"

BTW. The setting NATSEARCHGLOBAL = on is also not considered when searching over the Search field.

Any ideas?

It's also visible in the html source code:

before the update:

<div class="natSearchBox">
<form name="searchbox" action="/foswiki/bin/natsearch/Main/WebHome">
  <input type="hidden" name="limit" value="100" />
  <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">

And after the update:

<div class="natSearchBox">
<form name="searchbox" id="searchbox" action="/foswiki/bin/view/Main/WebSearch" >
  <input type="hidden" name="jump" value="on" />
  <input type="hidden" name="origtopic" value="Main.WebHome" />
  <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">

How and where is the action defined?

-- UrsBeyerle - 22 Jun 2010

I found it myself. The action is defined in templates/searchbox.nat.tmpl. So I changed

diff templates/searchbox.nat.tmpl.ori templates/searchbox.nat.tmpl
4c4
< <form name="searchbox" id="searchbox" action="%SCRIPTURLPATH{"view"}%/%BASEWEB%/WebSearch" >
---
> <form name="searchbox" id="searchbox" action="%SCRIPTURLPATH{"natsearch"}%/%BASEWEB%/%BASETOPIC%" >

Natsearch is now working again from the Search & GO field, as I would expect it.

Was there a reason for changing the action in templates/searchbox.nat.tmpl ?

-- UrsBeyerle - 22 Jun 2010

May I second the question (seeing the same on my instance)?

Confirming this bug as well as the fix by UrsBeyerle for Foswiki 1.1.0.
