    Oops.

                            <form action="[[~[[+landing]]]]" method="[[+method]]">
                            <fieldset>
                                <input type="text" name="[[+searchIndex]]" id="[[+searchIndex]]" value="[[+searchValue]]" />
                                <input type="hidden" name="id" value="[[+landing]]" /> 
                                <input type="submit" value="[[%sisea.search? &namespace=`sisea` &topic=`default`]]" id="searchButton" class="bttn" />
                            </fieldset>
                        </form>

      Ok, what happens if you use

      <form action="[[~50]]" method="[[+method]]">


      Just to see if it's something wrong in SimpleSearch itself, or if it's something wrong in your site's handling of the URL creation.

      Since you mentioned something about similar problems with Wayfinder, it's most likely something wrong with MODx URL processing.

        Unfortunately no difference.

          Try making the action attribute be the actual URL to the landing page.

          action="http : //mysite.com/search-results.html"


          It's beginning to look like you have bigger issues than just SimpleSearch.

            Oddly, that doesn't work either. Although the correct url is displayed the homepage is what shows, not the results page.

              That means the URL to your search-result page wasn't correct, you're getting the default "not found" page (your home page, resource #1).

                I left off the .html file extension and now it works. I am curious as to what the bigger problem is though because in addition to SS it's causing major issues when using Wayfinder in sub-directories.

                  It may have something to do with your "container_suffix" setting. If a resource is a container, it's given a different suffix (by default / rather than .html).

                    I'm guessing it's due to this:

                    Under System > Content Types I had removed .html under 'File Extension' because I didn't want my urls to have .html tacked on. I suppose if I enabled that again your example would have worked straight-away.

                    It seems that until I can suss out the real problem I'll have to use the hard-coded solution you offered. I'm more concerned about how this issue affects Wayfinder usage.

                    Thank you, Susan.
