Smart search results not showing Topic is solved

[sw_Gittan]

Hi,

I'm using Joomla 5.2.3 and Astroid template. I have searched the forum, but can't find anything that can explain my problem.

I'm trying to use Smart Search. Indexing seems to work "The indexed content on this site includes 1,744 terms across 35 links with 12 attributes in 8 branches." My new module for search results seems to work. Search statistics shows that my test searches has given a number of results, both for content and titles. But...

I don't see any results, only breadcrumbs with search module name and search term.
What could be the problem?

Welcome to the Joomla forum!

What is the URL of the website?

The site is still under development, so I have not moved it to the web hotel I intend to use. Development is done in a cloud based environment. It is slow, but sufficient for development.
https://gittans-test-site.joomla.com/index.php/sv/

The site is in Swedish. English is page not developed yet. Smart search should work anyway.

I've been thinking, do I have a Joomla problem or an Astroid problem? When setting up Smart Search I watched some instructions on [youtube], but in those videos they where using Cassiopeia. Could my problem be that I need a designated space in Android for showing search results? Something that Cassiopeia don't need?

You can find out by selecting Cassiopeia as the default template and testing the search.

It's an issue with the Template not showing the content Area.

Thank you for the tip. I should have thought of that. it worked perfectly fine with Cassiopeia. Now I need to figure out whats need to be done in Astroid to make it work there also. Unfortunately the help/documentation for Astroid does not cover search function.

When I find the solution I will present it, even if it is a Astroid problem and not a Joomla problem.
(In case anyone else runs into the same problem.)

The trick was creating a Component Area in the Astroid template. My mess was first that I didn't know I needed a component area, and secondly that I missed that Astroid has a widget for component area. The clue to find the solution was in the code, "grid-area: comp". When I saw that in the browser dev tool I understood what I was missing.
For search results in Astroid:
1. Menu item in hidden menu.
2. Template for menu item.
3. Component area in template layout.
