Hey JoeyMcDaniel ,

 

I had the same problem you described above.

I solved the problem by adding a small piece of JavaScript to my custom search component which listens for the keyup-event.

 

$("#lia-body .lia-content .lia-search-input-message").keyup(function(e) {
   if(e.which == 13) {
      var search_text = $(this).val();

      if (search_text) {
         var search_text_en = encodeURI(search_text);
         var search_url = "/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?q=" + search_text_en;
	
         window.open(search_url, "_self");
      }
   }
}

 

I build the search url myself and pass this value to the window.open() function.

 

Best regards

Christian
