I need to make some changes to the actual HTML for the SimpleSearch form but I cannot find where this is stored.

I have checked the snippets that come with the plugin but cant find it.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

Hi, the HTML should be in the chunks rather than the snippets.

It is best to make a copy of the default chunk tpl, then use your copy. If there is an update, the default chunk will be overwritten, so any changes you make to that one would be lost.

Thanks but there are no SimpleSearch chunks appearing for me at all

I think mine were non-existent too, and I did not care much to look for them any deeper than where chunks should be, namely in the Element Tree.

So I created chunks in the format presented on the Extra's tut.
Hopefully this is what you are looking for.

The call:

[[!SimpleSearch?  &ids=`1,374,123,225,22,212`
&contexts=`web,etc` 
&exclude=`111,4205,15,34,3137` 
&containerTpl=`simpleSearchContainerTpl` 
&tpl=`simpleSearchResultsTpl` 
&noResultsTpl=`simpleSearchNoResultTpl` 
&highlightClass=`simplesearch` 
&highlightTag=`span` 
&perPage=`100` 
&searchStyle=`match` 
&useAllWords=`1`]]

simpleSearchContainerTpl

<div id="search">[[+resultInfo]]
<br>
Pages(s): [[+paging]]<br>
<a href="#top">Search again</a>
<p>[[+results]]</p>
<br>Pages(s): [[+paging]]
<br><a href="#top">Search again</a>
</div>

simpleSearchResultsTpl

<h1>[[+idx]]. <a href="[[+link:is=``:then=`[[~[[+id]]]]`:else=`[[+link]]`]]" title="[[+longtitle]]">[[+pagetitle]]</a></h1>
[[+extract]]<br><br>

simpleSearchNoResultTpl

[[+query:is=``:then=``:else=`<div id="search">No results for "[[+query]]". Please try something else, or be more general, or more specific. <br><a href="#top">Search again</a></div>`]]

Ah yeah I see what you mean. I just installed the extra and it's not creating the chunks in the manager on install for me either.
You can also find them in your modx install at /you-modx-dir/core/components/simplesearch/elements/chunks/

I posted it as a bug on Github but I can only find splittingred's version. The package installer shows it's maintained by theboxer now.
