Cannot override Search Results page

Hi George,

It is possible, but you will have to programmatically edit the default search forms to redirect to that URL. That is outside of the scope of Ajax Search Pro though, the default search forms are not controlled by the plugin.

Because that I can’t guarantee anything as this is way beyond my support duties, but I’m still happy to help.

The best way to do that is to edit the default search forms source code and add a hidden input with the page id and change the “s” input to “asp_s” to auto-trigger the search on your custom page.

So this is the original header form:

<form method="get" action="https://www.hifi-advice.com/blog/prometheus">
	<input type="text" name="s" class="input-search font-1 active-true" placeholder="Search">
	<input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="post">
</form>

And changing it to:

<form method="get" action="https://www.hifi-advice.com/blog/prometheus">
	<input type="text" name="asp_s" class="input-search font-1 active-true" placeholder="Search">
	<input type="hidden" name="page_id" value="42842">
</form>

will do the trick.

If it is not possible to change the source code for some reason, then using a javacscript code snippet could also work:

document.querySelector('.cactus-form-header form')?.addEventListener('submit', function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  var s = encodeURIComponent(this.querySelector('input[name="s"]').value);
  window.location.href = '/blog/prometheus/?page_id=42842&asp_s=' + s;
});

However these heavily depends on implementation. You may also have to consult with the theme developer on how to change those parameters properly.
