configure search.php in BeTheme

in Theme support
Hi,
I have a search box on my homepage that has the option of selecting category.



When a category is selected, "Air Canada" for example but the search box is left blank, a search results page is displayed with correct formatting and preview images shown for all posts. I really like how this looks.

example result:




However, as soon as a search term is added in the search box, the following issues arise: 
  • the search results page is missing the blog sidebar
  • the formatting adds text on top of my menu bar
  • preview images are no longer shown
For example, when selecting category "Air Canada" and entering "London" into the search box


I understand that there is a file called search.php which needs to be edited but I can't see how to bring its formatting in line with my ideal search results page. e.g) https://theluxurytraveller.com/category/aircanada/

can you please explain how I can do this?

Thanks!

    Hey,
    yes you are correct. This is the search.php file. We do not change anything in the search page so this is how a default WordPress search page looks like. We cannot really change anything right now about that, this requires file customization and custom coding which we do not support. I will let know the dev team about this, maybe something could be done it make it look better.
    thanks

    Thanks for the update Bryan.

    So presumably this category results page isn't a default wordpress page and comes from BeTheme?


    I certainly didn't code it myself but would appreciate any tips on getting search.php to match it!

    The category page is the same functionality as the default wordpress - it inherits the options from the main blog page template (as every Wordpress template do) to not to mix layouts.
    Thanks
