Stored search behaviour

Hi all,


I want to create a search page that finds assets based on a metadata field. This is the behaviour im looking for:



if a user goes to the url

www.blah/publications

they see all the publications



if a user goes to

www.blah/publications?type=report

they see all the reports



using stored search I can get the second one working but even though I have selected "Allow empty searches" on the search page I cant get the first one to work (it just brings up the initial search form rather than a set of results).



Is this the expected behaviour? Any ideas on how I might get around this?



Thanks,



Steve.

Do you have the stored search option set to show results page? If you do and it is still returning the initial page, then the search may be configured incorrectly. I think it returns to the initial page if no results are found (not sure).

Yep. I have that option set.


Surely it would show the no results body copy if no results are found.



I think I'll register this as a bug.
