Filter doen't seem to pass the search term.

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.3
-- Joomla version -- : 3.6
-- PHP version -- : 5.5

HI,

I have created a search filter on the homepage. I'm sure this was once working fine, so it may be down to an update? However, it seems that the search term is not passed to the results. If I turn SEF off and other plugins that could affect this I still get the same result.

Module for the filter force redirect is on.
Configuration - redirect post mode yes

When I do a search (SEF off etc) the resulting URL is this: index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=product&task=listing&Itemid=225&limit=21&filter_Search=

If you add in manually your search term to the URL directly, so something like this:
index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=product&task=listing&Itemid=225&limit=21&filter_Search=hats

and load the browser it works fine.

I have no template overrides.

I have tried paying with the force redirect / POST redirect setting and I can't get anything to work.

help please?

Excellent - thanks!
