We’ve juste migrate our OJS from 2.3.6.0 to 2.4.8.1 and we 've problem with search. In our old ojs configuration we used disable_path_info = On and after migration
to 2.4.8.1 the search function doesn’t work. But if we put disable_path_info to Off, the search function work normally. Knowing that we can’t use the option disable_path_info = Off, do you
have a solution to this problem?
Thank you for your collaboration.
Hi @ayssi,
Can you describe what you mean when you say that it doesn’t work? How does it behave?

Hi Alec,
Search dosn’t work means : When I click on the search button, the system returns me to the homepage

Hi @ayssi,
Is your installation publicly available somewhere that I can test it?

Hi @ayssi,
It looks like you’ve modified your sidebar search form’s code. Review your modifications and compare against the original OJS code – I suspect you’ll find the problem there.

Hi Alec,
The sidebar search form’s is not modified and it contains the original code.
As reminder, if we put disable_path_info to Off, the search function work normally and it dispaly results for the entered keywords.

Hi @ayssi,
I found the problem – the issue is that with path_info_disabled in use, the form’s action URL will contain URL parameters, which does not work when the form method="GET".
I’ve filed this at Form method="GET" (default) does not work with `path_info_disabled` URLs. · Issue #2300 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub along with a suggested work-around pending a complete solution.

Hi Alec,
We’ve done the modification (the command “Post” was added to the two files mentionned) and the search function is Ok. Thanks for your response.
