Forums theme: Forums home search box doesn't return results

[medariox]

The search box located on the forums home doesn't work correctly. On search, the user is redirected to a new page with the error message "Per favore inserisci qualche termine di ricerca qui sopra" (Please enter a search term). The search box on the new page works as expected (see attached picture).

Error page with new search box

The front page search form was updated via ​c08cfa2 to "better match w.org"...

Is the plan to use bbPress native search so that i18n forums search is restricted to each single locale forum?

Or is the plan to use the "Custom Google Search" to search all of w.org?

Sidenote: Our theme includes two custom bbPress searches, one to search topics in a single forum, and another to search replies in a single topic.

After taking a quick look at this, I don't think we can re-use the existing wordpress.org/search/ template for Rosetta sites.

The main reason is that it's built statically for the english variant, and localising it isn't really easily possible. Instead, this should be created within the rosetta plugins somehow.

replacing homepage search form with bbpress standard search template + css fix for broken positioning

The patch looks great, thanks @francescolaffi!

One thing I am not sure about is whether we’re using the theme at some other place, from what I see – no, but didn’t want to commit this before making sure.

Replying to nbachiyski:

At present it's only on the new international forums.
The patch looks good to me though!

In 2063:

Forums Theme: Use bbPress' search form template on home page.

The custom search form had actions which aren't supported by default in bbPress.

Props francescolaffi.
Fixes #1134.
