Simple Search plugin - getting error 404 of misconfigured URL's

@01K, I tried to reproduce your issue, but can’t…

I did the following:

  • Fresh install of Grav 1.7.0-rc.20
  • Using theme Quark
  • Installed simplesearch: $ bin/gpm install simplesearch
  • Created a blog folder:
    user/pages/
    ├── 01.home
    │   └── default.md
    ├── 02.typography
    │   └── default.md
    └── 03.blog
        ├── blog.md
        └── item1
            └── item.md
    
  • Browsed to ‘/blog’
  • Entered a search term ‘xxx’
  • Result was shown on page /search/query:xxx

No idea what could have caused the issue on your site… Maybe it has to do with theme Gantry 5 Helium?

Would you mind setting up a fresh install of Grav 1.7 + Gantry 5 Helium + simplesearch + above folder structure?
