Search Side Box

[Bruce1952]

Hi All,

Using bootstrap template 3.7.4 version with 8.1php and I have a question relating as to where and what file would be used to disable the search facility.

I had someone working on the site last August when I was having an issue with CPU usage on the site and they disabled the search to try to correct the problem.

I have since found out what was causing the CPU issue and corrected it and the site is working fine till a couple of days ago when the google search bar decided to play up and now just returns to the main page.

I removed the google search bar and put the side box search back but it also returns to the the main page when doing a search because of what was done to one of the files on the site which I am trying to find.

If anyone can help me with a file that would cause this it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All,

Found the files that were causing the issue which were:
/public_html/includes/modules/pages/search/header_php.php

and

/public_html/includes/modules/pages/search_result/header_php.php

They were edited to go to the home page. That has now been corrected but the issue now is if I have the header search activated in the Layout box Controller I get a lot of error logs which is shown below.

I know it says MYSQL server has gone away but this only happens when the header search is active.

Any thoughts as to why this would be happening. I am thinking that it is continually try to search the database which is causing the Server to block the request.
