There is a bug in "search module" of SJNews template. Searching is not working on index page (main page) of the website, but works fine when you use it when some article is displayed. Please check it out.
Precisely: Put some word to search field, push search button and there is no effect, just main page is reloading.

To encounter this problem just follow these steps:

Go to menu position: "Search"
Administration panel -> Menus -> About Joomla -> Using Joomla -> Components -> Search Component -> Search
Change "Parent Item" from "Search Component" to "Using Joomla" and then try to search something using search module from index page of the website -> It's not working - just main page is reloading after search button is pushed.

Search module is not working EVEN when I put menu position "Search" to its original position (Parent Item = Search Component)! Now I have broken search module on my website. Please help!

Additional info:
Address bar of my browser after put "someword" for search looks like:
127.0.0.1/test/index.php/component/search/?searchword=someword&searchphrase=all&Itemid=435

Problem is this "Itemid=435"! After cut it out, searching is doing well. What is Itemid=435?

Dear rymy,

Please refer the user guide in:
www.smartaddons.com/forum/195-sj-news/15248-solved-smart-search-dosnt-work-properly#15282


Thanks

I did what You suggested but it doesn't help.

I did:

/* $fields .= '<input type="hidden" name="Itemid" value="' . JFactory::getApplication()->input->get('Itemid', '0', 'int') . '" />'; */

in "your_site\modules\mod_finder\helper.php"

One thing is strange. When I did:
component manager -> smart search -> click Index button
progress bar stops on 6%. What can be wrong?

More info:
It seems like
file: "your_site\modules\mod_finder\helper.php"
doesn't corrersponds with my search module, because I can do anything with this file including delete it and nohing happen, of course my problem still exist.

Dear rymy,

After you changed the file, please delete all cache of Joomla.

Thanks

Cache is cleaned and problem still exist.

In fresh installation of SJNews, after putting word "test" for search, browser address bar looks like:
127.0.0.1/mywebpage2/index.php/using-joomla/components/search-component/search?searchword=test&searchphrase=all


On my site in this case, browser address bar looks like:
127.0.0.1/mywebpage/index.php/component/search/?searchword=test&searchphrase=all&Itemid=435

Wondering about "Itemid=435"? Where it came from?

Thank You for your patience.

Dear rymy,

It seems you haven't edited the file your_site\modules\mod_finder\helper.php yet or your site still run the cache. I tested on localhost, comment the code line and it works well:
