Search fail if key `filters:` is not present

[magnetik]

Hi,

When using the admin plugin, when I remove the only tag in the Category filter, the line filters: is deleted from simplesearch.yaml.

When this line is not present, the search fail even when there are result.

After adding the line filters: manually, the search works again.

And when editing another field in the admin plugin, the line is removed again.

I don't see any problem. Are you using the latest releases of Grav + Admin + SimpleSearch?

I see this also.

Here are my observations from 3 experiments I did while using Grav v1.1.5, Admin v1.2.2, and SimpleSearch v1.9.2. I labeled the experiments below with the letters A, B, and C for future reference.

I ran experiment C because I didn't know whether the only reason the search yielded 0 results in experiment B was that I had defined a filter_combinator, but not a filter.

A. With the filters key present

user\config\plugins\simplesearch.yaml:

enabled: true
built_in_css: true
display_button: true
min_query_length: 3
route: /search
template: simplesearch_results
filters:
filter_combinator: and
order:
    by: date
    dir: desc

The search yields 1 result.

Here's a screenshot of search results page in my web browser:

B. With the filters key absent

user\config\plugins\simplesearch.yaml:

enabled: true
built_in_css: true
display_button: true
min_query_length: 3
route: /search
template: simplesearch_results
filter_combinator: and
order:
    by: date
    dir: desc

The search yields 0 result.

C. With the filters and filter_combinator key absent

user\config\plugins\simplesearch.yaml:

enabled: true
built_in_css: true
display_button: true
min_query_length: 3
route: /search
template: simplesearch_results
order:
    by: date
    dir: desc

The search yields 0 results.

For reference, I'm using PHP 5.5.9.

I can reproduce in SimpleSearch 1.9.3 / Grav 1.1.6 / Admin 1.2.3 / PHP 5.6.23.

Fails for me as well.

PHP v7.0.10 Grav v1.1.8 Admin v1.2.4

Interesting tidbit: The plugin keeps changing the filter back to blog if you set it to empty in the YAML file.

The same happens here. No results when the filter key is not present.

When I change SimpleSearch options from admin, for example I set 'use builtin css' to false, the filter key has been deletet from the /user/config/plugins/simplesearch.yaml

PHP 7.1.0 Grav 1.1.12 Admin 1.2.7 SimpleSearch 1.9.3
