Search not working anymore

EIF

After updating to J4, VM4 and the latest Storefront template update, the Search isn;t working anymore. It gives the following error: Class "Joomla\CMS\Helper\SearchHelper" not found

Any idea how to fix this?

EIF Hi

Joomla 4 removed the Search (used in J3), you should replace it with Smart search component.

EIF

Ok. I tried to enable and replace it with smart search. But then the following message appears:

Call to undefined method Joomla\CMS\Pagination\Pagination::get()

Edit: is it possible to use the Virtuemart search instead? Customers want to search for products, so i the results are like the product list view, that would be better? But if I put the VM search in that module position, it finds nothing. 0 results

EIF You can share the URL + super admin account of your site, I will check for you.

EIF Hi

You're still using Search from J3, the current error is from search component.

As I mentioned above, you can switch to use Smart Search instead.

EIF

I changed it back to Smart search again now, but as you can see I get an error again:

0 - Class "Joomla\CMS\Helper\SearchHelper" not found

As I can see your site is still using the search module in 'search' position. I tried to replace with Smart search module and it worked.

seems to be a template override file that causes this error.

Hi EIF,
I have checked and see that the site still uses the search module in the 'search' position. I have enabled the "Smart search" and it worked.

EIF

Hi,

Ok, one step forward. But when you search and click on a search result? Don't you get an error like me?

Nope, the search works from our side: /smart-search?q=bong
