Migrating and Upgrading to Joomla! 4.x • Re: J4.4 Smart Search and Weblinks

Replace Search Module with the Finder Module.

Per Yngve Berg

First and foremost - THANK YOU for your time, your patience and understanding.

I have FINALLY figured it out. It was as you kept pointing out the com_search module (and my stupidity). Sometimes I can't see the forest for the trees.

I located the "Smart Search quickstart guide" https://docs.joomla.org/Smart_Search_quickstart_guide within the Joomla documentation which had I done so sooner, I wouldn't have wasted your time. After reading the guide, the realization hit that

1. I had NOT set up the Smart Search module correctly. YES it was being shown and while it was seemingly working, the module was conflicting, as you were saying, with the com_search module which was appearing on the SAME search page. What I thought I was calling correctly was WRONG.

2. After setting up the Smart Search module, creating the menu item and display page I was finally able to disable the root cause of the original problem - the com_search package, to include the modules, plug-ins, and components.

3. The Smart Search DOES now work (I am assuming properly) with com_search out of the picture. The error page that had plagued my progress is gone and the search is far far faster than it had been.

Again thank you for your time and patience.
