Has anyone else experienced the search function working perfectly on IE and Chrome but NOT working on Safari, specifically Safari on the iPad? Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated.

Sure. I'm designing my website (www.williphotos.com) with CE4. I have included a search function which is working perfectly with Internet Explorer and Chrome on a PC. I tried the same searches on my iPad and iPhone using Safari. Neither returned any results. I thought the problem might be Safari so I tried the searches on a Mac Pro and again, as on the PC with IE and Chrome, everything worked fine.
My conclusion is that the problem isn't Safari but maybe IOS.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Thanks for the further explanation. This has arisen from optimisations for search in Publisher 2.2.0.
Previously, the search results were held between page views, so that if you returned to search/ the old results would still be there.
The new version clears the results if there is no q=searchTerm paramater. The mobile redirect is losing the parameter and therefore losing the search results.
I'll need to look further into this to find a good solution. For now, the problem can be avoided by changing a single line in the file template_index.php within the template used by search.
From this:
window.location.replace('mobile.php'); }To this:
window.location.replace('mobile.php<?php echo $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] ? '?'.$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] : ''; ?>'); }That just passes the search parameter to mobile.php during the redirect.

Ben - another quick question regarding your suggestion. I'm a bit confused where and which file you're suggesting changing. You indicate changing my search template_index.php. In my search folder I only see 3 files; index.php, lib.php, and mobile.php. I looked in the index.php file and didn't see the line you suggested changing so I'm confident I'm looking at the wrong file. Can you help point me to the correct one? Thanks. Bill

the search template_index.php file is the template_index.php file for the gallery export you're using for Search.
In the ttg-be Publisher set up you choose a template to use for Search. This is the search template Ben is referring to.

Ron & Ben - Got it. I found the file you were referring to and made the change. All searches now seem to be working now on my iPad and iPhone on Safari. Thanks.

This has been fixed with the latest update to Gallery. Any newly-created templates used by Publisher should now correctly work with the mobile redirect.
