Search not working with keywords

When using Javo Directory Theme or javo Spot the search of keywords stored in the Lava Directory manager is not working like it should.

If you fill in the search keyword in the search for on the home page then nothing gets displayed.

If you use the Google search it will display the search result

If you choose Location in the home page form then you will not get directed to the correct search result UNLESS – and that seems to be the problem you access before the map page itself and you RESET the complete form.

It seems that Lava Directory is keeping the keywords in his memory and then using it again and again until you have reset the form.

The same happens when you are using Map page and reset the form.
Then enter a keyword
Now call listsing view and you get the result displayed
Now on Listing you DELETE the keyword and instead put a location – as a result you won’t get anything displayed unless the location has also the keyword which you just deleted.

There is no way to reset the the searches on Homepage or on the Listings page, nor is there a way to set the page itself to uncached as this might be also a problem.

When you go back to Map View and RESET the search for there, then go back to List view and again enter the location and all items to that location will get displayed correct.

Solution

There must be a reset the form Button on all Views and actually also on the pages, the search form gets inserted.

Additionally, an automatism needs to get implemented so if you delete a search term i.e. a keyword, then it should first RESET the keywords field also in all other views and not reusing its forms and values.

Please let me know what other solution you would recommend so that lava directory manager is useful and displaying search results correctly.

Additionally we just found out that when doing the search on Mobile from the search form it is not redirecting if NOT the google search is used.

It simply goes back to the same page again – if the search form is on the home page then it displays the home page. IN other words lava directory manager seems to ignore Theme settings of the grid search which actually says that the resulting page is the Map page and not the home page!

Performing the search from the Map page it displays the results of the location search correct

Another finding the keyword does not get deleted by reset you need to delete it manually

Probably the directory can’t handle other languages than those written with latin letters!

If you enter parts of the author name into the keywords a result will show up!

Thanks
