Numbered Page-navigation Of Google Blogger Not Working On Search Results Page

I have added a numbered page-navigation script on my Blogger and it is working fine with all pages except the search results page (the page shown with results when I make a search

Solution 1:

Firstly you will have to modify the search box, Changing the form action attribute from

action="/search/max-results=12"

to

action="/search/"

Specifiy the max-results parameter as a hidden input field

<inputtype='hidden' name='max-results' value="12" />

Secondly in the JavaScript code above, search for the following line -

if (thisUrl.indexOf("?q=") == -1 && thisUrl.indexOf(".html") == -1)

and replace it with -

if (thisUrl.indexOf(".html") == -1)

The above condition (aka thisUrl.indexOf("?q=") == -1) was stopping the script to work on pages with a query parameter named q in the URL

Edit 1: For showing correct Page Numbers on Search results pages

Search for the following function in the above code -

functionredirectpage(numberpage) {
    jsonstart = (numberpage - 1) * perPage;
    noPage = numberpage;
    var nameBody = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
    var newInclude = document.createElement('script');
    newInclude.type = 'text/javascript';
    newInclude.setAttribute("src", home_page + "feeds/posts/summary?start-index=" + jsonstart + "&max-results=1&alt=json-in-script&callback=finddatepost");
    nameBody.appendChild(newInclude)
}

Replace it with -

functionredirectpage(numberpage) {
    jsonstart = (numberpage - 1) * perPage;
    noPage = numberpage;
    var nameBody = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
    var newInclude = document.createElement('script');
    newInclude.type = 'text/javascript';
    if(urlactivepage.indexOf("?q=") == -1){
        newInclude.setAttribute("src", home_page + "feeds/posts/summary?start-index=" + jsonstart + "&max-results=1&alt=json-in-script&callback=finddatepost");
    } else {
        newInclude.setAttribute("src", home_page + "feeds/posts/summary?start-index=" + jsonstart + "&alt=json-in-script&q="+ urlactivepage.split("?")[1].split("q=")[1].split("&")[0] +"&callback=finddatepost");  
    }
    nameBody.appendChild(newInclude);
}

Then search for the following block of code -

functionpagecurrentg() {
    var thisUrl = urlactivepage;
    if (thisUrl.indexOf("/search/label/") != -1) {
        if (thisUrl.indexOf("?updated-max") != -1) {
            postLabel = thisUrl.substring(thisUrl.indexOf("/search/label/") + 14, thisUrl.indexOf("?updated-max"))
        } else {
            postLabel = thisUrl.substring(thisUrl.indexOf("/search/label/") + 14, thisUrl.indexOf("?&max"))
        }
    }
    if (thisUrl.indexOf("?q=") == -1 && thisUrl.indexOf(".html") == -1) {
        if (thisUrl.indexOf("/search/label/") == -1) {
            currentPage = "page";
            if (urlactivepage.indexOf("#PageNo=") != -1) {
                currentPageNo = urlactivepage.substring(urlactivepage.indexOf("#PageNo=") + 8, urlactivepage.length)
            } else {
                currentPageNo = 1
            }
            document.write("<script src=\"" + home_page + "feeds/posts/summary?max-results=1&alt=json-in-script&callback=totalcountdata\"><\/script>")
        } else {
            currentPage = "label";
            if (thisUrl.indexOf("&max-results=") == -1) {
                perPage = 20
            }
            if (urlactivepage.indexOf("#PageNo=") != -1) {
                currentPageNo = urlactivepage.substring(urlactivepage.indexOf("#PageNo=") + 8, urlactivepage.length)
            } else {
                currentPageNo = 1
            }
            document.write('<script src="' + home_page + 'feeds/posts/summary/-/' + postLabel + '?alt=json-in-script&callback=totalcountdata&max-results=1" ><\/script>')
        }
    }
}

and replace it with -

functionpagecurrentg() {
    var thisUrl = urlactivepage;
    if (thisUrl.indexOf("/search/label/") != -1) {
        if (thisUrl.indexOf("?updated-max") != -1) {
            postLabel = thisUrl.substring(thisUrl.indexOf("/search/label/") + 14, thisUrl.indexOf("?updated-max"))
        } else {
            postLabel = thisUrl.substring(thisUrl.indexOf("/search/label/") + 14, thisUrl.indexOf("?&max"))
        }
    }
    if (thisUrl.indexOf(".html") == -1) {
        if (thisUrl.indexOf("/search/label/") == -1) {
            currentPage = "page";
            if (urlactivepage.indexOf("#PageNo=") != -1) {
                currentPageNo = urlactivepage.substring(urlactivepage.indexOf("#PageNo=") + 8, urlactivepage.length)
            } else {
                currentPageNo = 1
            }
            if(thisUrl.indexOf("q=") == -1){
                document.write("<script src=\"" + home_page + "feeds/posts/summary?max-results=1&alt=json-in-script&callback=totalcountdata\"><\/script>")
            } else {
                document.write("<script src=\"" + home_page + "feeds/posts/summary?q=" + thisUrl.split("?")[1].split("q=")[1].split("&")[0] + "&alt=json-in-script&callback=totalcountdata\"><\/script>")
            }
       } else {
            currentPage = "label";
            if (thisUrl.indexOf("&max-results=") == -1) {
                perPage = 20
            }
            if (urlactivepage.indexOf("#PageNo=") != -1) {
                currentPageNo = urlactivepage.substring(urlactivepage.indexOf("#PageNo=") + 8, urlactivepage.length)
            } else {
                currentPageNo = 1
            }
            document.write('<script src="' + home_page + 'feeds/posts/summary/-/' + postLabel + '?alt=json-in-script&callback=totalcountdata&max-results=1" ><\/script>')
        }
    }
}

Then search for the following block of code

functionfinddatepost(root) {
    post = root.feed.entry[0];
    var timestamp1 = post.published.$t.substring(0, 19) + post.published.$t.substring(23, 29);
    var timestamp = encodeURIComponent(timestamp1);
    if (currentPage == "page") {
        var pAddress = "/search?updated-max=" + timestamp + "&max-results=" + perPage + "#PageNo=" + noPage
    } else {
        var pAddress = "/search/label/" + postLabel + "?updated-max=" + timestamp + "&max-results=" + perPage + "#PageNo=" + noPage
    }
    location.href = pAddress
}

and replace it with -

functionfinddatepost(root) {
    post = root.feed.entry[0];
    var timestamp1 = post.published.$t.substring(0, 19) + post.published.$t.substring(23, 29);
    var timestamp = encodeURIComponent(timestamp1);
    if (currentPage == "page") {
        if(urlactivepage.indexOf("?q=") == -1){
                var pAddress = "/search?updated-max=" + timestamp + "&max-results=" + perPage + "#PageNo=" + noPage
        } else {
                var pAddress = "/search?updated-max=" + timestamp + "&q="+ urlactivepage.split("?")[1].split("q=")[1].split("&")[0] +"&max-results=" + perPage + "#PageNo=" + noPage
            }
        } else {
        var pAddress = "/search/label/" + postLabel + "?updated-max=" + timestamp + "&max-results=" + perPage + "#PageNo=" + noPage
    }
    location.href = pAddress
}

In all these blocks of code, I have added extra conditions to handle the query parameter conditon. In case you are getting confused, then the new files as a whole looks like - this . An working example can be checked here - https://prayagverma.blogspot.com/?q=Tweet .

Note: Also I had remove the max-results from the JSON API calls above as they were affecting the openSearch$totalResults.$t parameter (which it normally shouldn't)
