Changing default query URL

[willgreeny59]

Hello,

How can I change the default URL search of Ajax Search Pro from ‘?phrase=’ to something like ‘#search/q=’?

Kind regards,

Will

Hi Will,

You can adjust that URL via these settings: https://documentation.ajaxsearchpro.com/behavior/return-key-and-magnifier-icon-click-actions

I think there might be missing a query separator, the “?” sign. When I do it like this on my local server:

/#search/?q={phrase}

Then it seems to work correctly. This should do the trick.

Okay, how about an & mark instead of the “?”:

/#search/&q={phrase}

It should work like that, if I try it on my local server with this:

/#search/q={phrase}

It redirects me perfectly. You may have a script there or a .htaccess mod_rewrite rule that also affects that and converts the URL after redirection. It should work with anything you put in there. Some browsers do treat the anchors differently and prevent redirection when they see one, so that’s why I recommended the “?” or “&” to basically trigger that.

On my end it works on any given page, home, subpages, regardless of the URL. I tried to trigger the error but no luck unfortunately.

If you want, you can add temporary FTP and back-end access, I can take a look.

Before that I would start by removing any custom code you may have, disabling all plugins temporarily, reverting the .htaccess file to default to see if anything changes. If it works then, then there is a conflict somewhere. If not, then it is still possible that the borwser just does not trigger a location change only based on the hashtag without query arguments.
