Couldn't render template "file error - search/search: not found"

And as documented, View::TT uses the private path to determine the default
template.

$c->stash(template => 'search');

would override that.

It does, and I'm nearly there now. Providing I set the template name in stash before $c->detach('search'), it re-loads the search page *with* the query params, *and* displays the message.

But for some reason it doesn't build the form properly, as the drop-down menus are empty - these are generated in the search() method using a formbuilder object pulled in from a My::Formbuilder module which does the form generation. Apart from that the form looks and behaves correctly, providing I use $c->detach (see below).

I also sometime see [% Catalyst.uri_for('search') %] translating to
'base_url/search/search' in the template, and though ugly, it does work.

That's cuz it generates a URI relative to the current namespace. I'd generally
avoid passing strings to uri_for except for static files, and instead pass
$controller->action_for($name_of_action_method).

But it's in the template I'm using uri_for, and action_for doesn't seem to work there ie [% Catalyst.action_for('search') %]

I've also tried playing with calling the default method 'index' and
'default', and various attributes Local, Path, Global (I know that one's
wrong) but ran into problems with all of those. I can't do a
$c->res->redirect to the url '/search' as I need the original search
params reloading. Can anyone see an obvious solution to this? Probably
to do it the correct way!

$c->uri_for($self->action_for('search'), $c->req->query_parameters); ?

That also gets the form re-displayed, but without the query_params and without the 'Submit' button, which is generated in the template as part of the form object ie [% form.submit %]. Any further thoughts? Thanks for your help so far btw :-)
