[Resolved] Ajax Search Bar question

[Ethan]

Hi everyone. First of all sorry if this is the wrong thread, this is my first post. I am setting up my first ever affiliate website with WordPress. I am using the GeneratePress theme.

I have a very annoying problem with the ajax search bar. I disabled single product pages because I want users to click on the product listings and go to amazon to (hopefully) purchase. But if I write something into the search bar and click on the result then it takes me to the single product page. How can I disable this feature?

I want something like this site: http://www.thisiswhyimbroke.com if you search for something it just returns product listings related to that search query.

I hope someone can help.

Thanks guys.

Hi there,

GP itself doesn’t have AJax search bar built-in.

Are you using a plugin?

Hi Leo, I just checked it again, you’re right it’s a woocommerce plugin:

I want to include search functionality but I don’t want that behavior. Is there a way to accomplish this without using this ajax search bar?

[Leo]

Unfortunately I’m not sure if that’s do-able – even if it is, it will require some custom coding to modify the search query:
