Steve,
Can you please elaborate what you are trying to achieve?
The theme already contains the search.php file. try copying to your child theme and start modifying it. 🙂

I’m using the Optimizer theme for my main site “landing page” of a network install, with navigation to all the sub-sites from it. One of the features I need, is a network wide search for all sub-sites.
I have a plugin called “wp-search-mu”, which resides in the “mu-plugins” folder in wp-content, it’s a “must use” plugin, as opposed to “inactive”, “active”, etc… It is for adding global, network wide capability to your search. In the search.php, I would normally insert 2 lines of code, 1 after the while instruction, and the other before the endwhile instruction, as such:
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : // Checks if any posts were found. ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : // Begins the loop through found posts. ?>
<?php switch_to_blog($post->blog_id); ?>
<?php the_post(); // Loads the post data. ?>
<?php hybrid_get_content_template(); // Loads the content/*.php template. ?>
<?php restore_current_blog(); ?>
<?php endwhile; // End found posts loop. ?>
Optimizer wp-search.php is using “template_part”, and I cannot find the module that contains “the loop” for processing search records. I could change-up the wp-search.php module, but would rather keep it in line with the structure of the theme. I hope I am explaining my question adequately.
Thanks for the prompt response!
Steve,
You can create a child theme and add the below code to your theme’s functions.php
or You can install this plugin:
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/my-custom-functions/
and then Go to Appearance> Custom Functions and add this:
add_action( 'loop_start', 'wpse107113_loop_start' );
function wpse107113_loop_start( $query ){
if( $query->is_search() ){
switch_to_blog($post->blog_id);
}
}
add_action( 'loop_end', 'wpse107113_loop_end' );
function wpse107113_loop_end( $query ){
if( $query->is_search() ){
restore_current_blog();
}
}
Let me know.

I believe I’ve resolved the issue by copying the “template_parts” folder into my child theme folder, and copying the 2 post format templates into it. I then renamed them to search… instead of post…, and changed the search.php in my child folder to call template_parts with “search” instead of “post”. It appears to be working, however, I like your functions approach as well, it’s probably cleaner.
I will tinker around with your idea in addition to what I’ve done, but I’ll go ahead and mark this as resolved.
Thanks for looking into it, you’ve been a great help!
