search results give wrong URL

[powerdog]

I developed a website that had a temporary URL. I've since added the permanent URL to the registrar's name servers, so now I have both URLs pointing to the same pages.

Search function works fine, but results come up in the old URL.

I've reindexed the site with Zoom, using the new URL as the starting point, and uploaded the new Zoom files to the web server. But how do I replace the old page addresses with the new ones?

You can see what I mean:

www.uvminnovations.com (Website and permanent URL)

If you do a search for a term like "melanoma" the results still come up in the "innovations09.com" temporary addresses.

Thanks!

If you are using Spider mode and indexing the new domain, then the index should automatically have the correct URLs. You just need to upload the new set of index files.

If you are using offline mode, then you need to adjust the base URL to point to the new domain.

I am using Spider mode and having Zoom upload the files by FTP.

Now I have also tried parking the old domain, in hope that the search indexer would be forced to see the pages as part of the new domain. It didn't work.

I now get a 404 error instead of a search results page at the old URL:

http://www.innovations09.com/search.php?zoom_query=melanoma

However, if I manually edit the URL in the browser so that it uses the new URL, I get a search page with correct results:

http://www.uvminnovations.com/search.php?zoom_query=melanoma

For some reason it is trying to create a search results page from the old URL, but it finds results in pages with the new URL.

Can you please go to the two links I've given here and see what's going on? I can't find any text entry box in the Zoom setup program that would allow a search page URL different from the one in the setup screen.

Thank you.

The HTML form on your home page is still pointing to the old domain.

This is the code,
<form method="get" action="http://www.innovations09.com/search.php" target="_blank">

You need to change the form to point to the new domain.
