Laravel search field - laravel

Question

I have some issues with search field in my project. Hopefully someone can help me.
When I type what I want to search and press enter in url i just get
sitelink/?
instead of
sitelink/results?query=someting
Here are parts of code
All search logic is in web.php not in a seperate controller...
web.php
Route::get('/results', function(){
$posts = \App\Post::where('title','like', '%' . request('query') . '%')->get();
return view('results')->with('posts', $posts)
->with('title', 'Search results : ' . request('query'))
->with('settings', \App\Setting::first())
->with('categories', \App\Category::take(6)->get())
->with('query', request('query'));
});
Here is form
<form method="GET" action="/results">
<input class="overlay_search-input" name="query" placeholder="Type and hit Enter..." type="text">
<a href="#" class="overlay_search-close">
<span></span>
<span></span>
</a>
</form>
Also, when I type full url manualy for example
sitelink/results?query=find
It is working just fine but it does not send right url when I press enter on search field

Answer 1

Are you sure you are hitting your route ???
Try to get the query param in your function
Route::get('/results', function(){
$query = Input::get('query');
print_r($query);
$posts = \App\Post::where('title','like', '%' . $query . '%')->get();
});

Answer 2

The issue was in mistype in blade.php
I hope this will help someone.
Essentially, I had a form I header for search but I also had form in frontIndex.blade.php in one was edited form how it should be and in one it was not. So I created includes folder cutter form there and then included where I needed it. Now it is working just fine :)

Replace this one:
<form method="GET" action="action="{{ route('result') }}"">
<input class="overlay_search-input" type="search" value="{{ isset($query) ? $query : '' }}"
name="query" placeholder="Type and hit Enter..." type="text">
<a href="#" class="overlay_search-close">
<span></span>
<span></span>
</a>
</form>
web.php:
Route::get('/result','SearchController#search')->name('result');
Your controller should get the query input:
$query = $request->input('query');
