search block not working

Permalink
I believe I posted this in the wrong location, so I'll try again here. Our search block (the canned concrete 5 one) has started "not working" in that when I type a search term in to the window, it returns a search, but the word it searched on is an old one, not the one I wanted. If I keep trying, I get the same "old" keyword coming up. If I tried refreshing the cache, it looks like the word changes. The word may change intermittently (not sure about that). If I run the search from within the "view page" of the dashboard, the search works fine. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

PS I am not the developer, so please be patient!

Well, finally tracked this down. I had changed the caching on the website in general, and this had hit the search page. Essentially the served search results were a cached prior search. turning off caching on this page fixed the problem. Obvious in hindsight, and probably obvious to most of you out there.

Thanks for the solution - that worked for me as well.

To confirm: you only need to "not cache" the search page. The rest of the site can continue to be cached.
