Search won't display on new page

Permalink
i'm trying to get the search to display the results on a new page, and don't know what i'm doing wrong. so far i created a single page called searches, added a search box there. then on my other search box i ticked 'Post to Another Page Elsewhere' and put in /searches/ in the url box.

Now when i click search it just goes back to the default home page, i suspect i'm putting in the wrong url.. but have tried everything i can think of. Any help would be great

Thanks

Are you sure the path to the search results is ok? (your_c5_location/index.php/searches or your_c5_location/searches when using pretty URLs)

thanks, i've tried all url combos now. nothings working, i even echoed the action url from the view.php and its correct.

do you know if the url is wrong whether it defaults to the index page? as it seems strange that its doing that.
