Search field - after searching list display does not show all results

fasenderos 10 Feb, 2015
Hi,
I have followed this article to create a search field.

The search works fine and extracts the results as expected.
But after the search, when I navigate to the "List Display" it shows only the previously searched items not the complete list. To get the complete list I have to make a "Blank" search.

List Display Custom Header Code

<input type="text" name="srch" placeholder="search...." class="form-control A" />
<br>
<input type="submit" name="search" value="Submit" />


Settings:
Display Type = Custom
Searchable = Article.title, Category.title

Thanks in advance

This is expected, the search term is still visible in the search text box, correct ?

If its then all good, you may add a button which resets and submits the form again to clear the search box and relist all items!

Thanks for reply.
Yes, after some research I found that the reset button is the only solution, but is not really user friendly, so I decide to find make my custom search.

Another easy solution would be to add the serch field parameter to the "list display" link:
link + &srch=


This will pass an empty srch string which means the list will be reset.
