Search function leads every item to 404 page

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.5.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.3
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : Google Chrome

When I updated to 2.5.0, it seems my search function broke...and I cannot seem to figure out how to fix it. Currently, when you enter a product to search, it takes you to the search results, but when you click on one, that directs you to a 404 error page. Any help would be appreciated, images attached for reference...

If you need to try it yourself, please go to my site & click the shopping link on the main menu...then follow the below instructions...

Search 1 - Bottom left corner is the search function under the shopping link.
Search 2 - Result from doing a search (this case I used the product Rotunda)
Search 3 - The 404 error I receive

Other items you can search for as well are listed below just for example...but ALL items on my site when searching give a 404 error...

Burke
Osteon
Atlas
Orion
Demon

Thanks!

Awesome...thank you Nicolas, I'll do that as soon as I get home from work & report back if it did or did not resolve the issue.

Nicolas, it technically did not resolve the issue in full...

I downloaded a fresh copy of HikaShop 2.5.0 which was the most recent release available to me...and oddly enough, it was the same numbered as what I already have.

I unzipped it first, then uploaded via FTP, and installed from directory. Per Joomla, it installed correctly, so I waited a minute, went in to my cpanel, and flushed the cache just to be safe...and yet it still during searching, gives me the 404 error code when clicking on the results of a search...BUT, it is allowing me to click on a link & give me a few returned searched items as full page. So it's partially working.

If you go to my site, click shopping, then in the search box type Osteon...it will give you 4 results. The results for the Osteon Prime and Osteon Jaguar give me a 404...whereas the Osteon D and the Battletech Blog links go all the way through to the proper page.

If you search for Rotunda, it will give you 1 result, which leads to a 404 page as well.

Another example,

Any other thoughts?

Do you have a canonical URL configured for your product ? - Not that I know of. I tried to look around for anything referring to that, but did not find anything.

What is the "force canonical URL on listings" setting set to on your HikaShop configuration ? - It is set to "Use canonical URL if specified"

Can you just zip the files in back/extensions/plg_search_hikashop_products of the install package and install that zip via the Joomla extension manager ? That will update only the search plugin and make sure that the update works. - Done...still having the same problem

Alright,

I did all of what you said, and none of it worked...but I noticed this...

For the product Rotunda...

Actual product URL...


Search Result that gives the 404 page...


The link is different...is it supposed to be like that? After I get the 404 page, if I delete the /component/search/ from the address string, the product shows up.

Here's another example...

For the product Osteon D...

Actual Product URL...


Search Result that gives the 404 page...


Again...with the /component/search/ at the end of the address string...

Is the /component/search/ supposed to be there? It seems like it's screwing things up.

Thanks!

While I wait for your response to the above post I made earlier, I found something else out...and had to shut off canonical URL's because of the following issue...

Thanks Nicolas! I am downloading it not, and I will try to install it after I get back home. I'll post results here after it's done.

Nicolas, that patch worked! Thank you very much. Now every search that failed is bringing back the correct page!

I appreciate your help!

Hi, I'm having the same problem but with Hikashop Business Version. Did you patch that one too and can I go ahead and download it?
