Finally I have got it worked. I am explaining what I did. So people who fall into to this issue can get it up.

I have changed 3 files to get it work. changes are In

1. extension\ezwebin\design\ezwebin\templates\content\search.tpl

2. extension\ezwebin\design\ezwebin\templates\content\search.tpl

In above two files I have changed the method GET into POST.

Also I have changed an other file too. extension\ezwebin\design\ezwebin\templates\content\page_header_searchbox.tpl

in this file I didn't find a GET .

It was like this <form action={"/content/search"|ezurl}>

So by default it was GET

So to get it work I have changed from <form action={"/content/search"|ezurl}> to <form action={"/content/search"|ezurl} method="post">

Hope this help anybody in future.

Sorry to chime in after you worked it all out, but this is a known issue:

http://issues.ez.no/IssueView.php?Id=15150&activeItem=3

(hint: besides looking in the forums, look in the issue tracker too when you have a problem).

One other thing: you are not supposed to alter existing templates, even if they come from an extension.

What you should do is:

- in siteaccess/xxx/site.ini.append.php declare that your site has a main design that is your own, leaving the existing designs as additional ones (ie. take the current sitedesign and make it 1st of the list of additionaldesigns)

- create a new folder: design/mydesign/templates

- copy the templates you want to modify in your new design, and edit them there, eg: extension\ezwebin\design\ezwebin\templates\content\search.tpl => design\mydesign\templates\content\search.tpl

But now I have a doubt. I would like to install ezFind . My custom design is present in extension\ezflow\design\mydesign\....(all cutom design files here).

This custom design , I have put it in ezflow extension .

So in which order my extension need to be in site.ini in global override.

ActiveExtensions[]=ezfind

ActiveExtensions[]=ezwebin
ActiveExtensions[]=ezflow

Is it like these

or

ActiveExtensions[]=ezflow

ActiveExtensions[]=ezfind

ActiveExtensions[]=ezwebin

Since my default content search.tpl and default advancedsearch.tpl is inside my cutom design inside ezflow extension.

So when I install ezfind how it would be, i mean extension order.

Also, my default contentsearch is working but advancedcontentsearch.tpl is not working .it bring me a blank pag with URL http://127.0.0.1/ezpublishing/index.php?/muscatdaily/content/advancedsearch/?SearchText=oman

But advancedcontentsearch.tpl in admin perfectly working.

Please give me suggestion Thanks in advance.

The cleanest way to store your design is not to put it in an existing extension, but in a new extension you create for your site:

extension/mysite/design/mydesign

The fact that your templates will be picked up first is not dependent on the extension where you put your design files, but rather on the fact that your design is the main one, and the other designs are fallbacks.

Assuming your main design is mydesign, the fallback one is ezwebin and the standard design is standard, and you have extensions ezwebin and myextension installed, the search order is:

1. /extension/myext/design/mydesign/
2. /extension/ezwebin/design/mydesign/
3. design/mydesign/
4. /extension/myext/design/ezwebin/
5. /extension/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/
6. design/ezwebin/
7. /extension/myext/design/standard/
8. /extension/ezwebin/design/standard/
9. design/standard/

In fact the order of points 1/2, 4/5 and 7/8 might be swapped depending upon the order in which extensions are loaded.

This is why it is a good idea to put your templates in the mydesign design: you are sure that they will always be picked up first, regardless of the order of extensions loading.

The standard way to work with creating new templates is:

- enable debug

- look up the current template in use in the debug info, at the bottom of the page

- copy that one into your new design

- of course if you already created new templates that override serach ones, then enable ezfind later, you should check that your search templates are not missing extra functionality that would have been added by the ezfind templates

You are right about both: the link to advancesearch in search.tpl is broken, as well as the navigation in advancedserach.tpl

The quickest fix is to take the existing template and simply replace the '?' char with an '&' - as Vjeran did back in 2005

The correct fix is to produce a template that will work in both cgi mode and standard mode - what Lucasz suggested.

I will not give you the exact template code, but here's a pseudo code example

def $string = '/content/advancedsearch'|ezurl()

if $a contains '?' then

set $a = concat( $a , '&')

else

set $a = concat( $a , '&')

/if

set $a = concat( $a , 'Serachtext=' $searchtext)

This logic you can use both to generate the urls linking to advancedserach and the page_uri_suffix variable for including the google_navigator.tpl
