ok. I was afraid of that. I don’t want to change the default search form because I don’t want the entire website using the search criteria of the knowledge base search form, soooo

my solution is to remove the search form on the secondary page by using this custom css code
/*—2nd search form with error—*/
.search .site-content .content-area .search-form {
display: none;
}

and that worked.
BUT
now the text that’s shows on the page doesn’t look right (and I’d love to add a link back to the initial search page on the knowledge base page). Do you have any idea how I can change that text? I can’t figure that out.

Thank you!

But if I keep it this way, without another search field, then I would like to edit the text to say “please go back and enter a new search term” or something like that. I can’t figure out where to change those words though.

I thought all was working ok, but I am noticing, for some search words,

On the 2nd search page, when you get to the error page (because on the initial search page the search term can’t be found) and put in a different search term (one that CAN be found), it pulls up the search results from many other pages (which we don’t want – we only want it to search the tags on the Posts pages).

Can you please assist with that? I think I’d be ok with it not even having a search field on that error page, forcing people to go back to the original search page (if that 2nd search page can’t easily be fixed).

You will need to be logged in to see it, so please let me know if you need the user id & password again.

Thank you!

I think the default search form work! I did a reset and it pulled up results from the entire website.
Wonderful!
Thank you so much!

ok. When you say use the Default Search form, are you talking about the search form that comes with Ivory Search? or the search form that comes with Elementar? or is that one and the same?
