Search module and the URL it leads to

Hello

Any ideas as to why the form in the module doesn't generate the same URL as the form on the search page?

-- the search form has extra form fields that are become part of the URL, when form is submited, and yes these need to be part of the URL so that Joomla conservative/progressive caching will work properly,


we maybe able to remove default form values from URL, maybe we can examine this in future release,

in your case if you do not need these form variable then do not include them in the search form, you must take for granted that URL includes this variable and build your scenario around this behavior

Regards

Hello,
You misunderstood. The longer URLs (including all the variables) are exactly what I want, however I'm not getting them when I use the search module. In the future I would like to be able to create redirects that instead of search results featuring just one result would lead straight to the item page. That's why the full URL with the variables is important, otherwise it's just /search and I can't do anything with that.
