Search widget renders but doesn't do anything

Hi All,

 I'm running SF8.1.5810.0 + Feather 1.3.340 and when I place a search box widget on my page and configure it (pick an index and a results page) the box renders properly, but when I type something in and hit search, no action is ever taken. I checked the developer console in my browser and I don't see any errors either.

 Any ideas?

Hello Joel,

Is there anything generated in the error logs? Is the search performed and redirected to the search results page with the index and query parameters?

I am facing the same problem.

My project - Sitefinity 8.0.5700, Feathers 1.2.260.1. The textbox rendered doesn't show any autocomplete. The Search button doesn't respond at all. No redirect or error in both console and logs. Upgrading to Feathers 1.2.290.1 doesn't work either.

Then, I tried creating a new project with Sitefinity 8.0.5710, default Feathers version. The search widget is able to work properly (autocomplete, redirect, etc)

I have no idea what went wrong with my project. Is the widget depending on some dll which i might be missing in the projects?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Yong,

The issue has been resolved in the support ticket.

I am sharing the resolution with the community:
There has been an older script for the search box widget that needs to be removed as it is no longer used.

Deleting the Scripts folder located in ResourcePackages -> Bootstrap -> MVC resolved the issue in this case.

Keep in mind that a clear of the browser's cache might be necessary for the changes to take effect.
