I am following these steps to create a searchable database: https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/create-custom-search-form/ For my test, I created a very simple form with a first name field and a last name field. I made through the steps to create all three forms ( data entry, data view, and data search ), but am stuck on the search. When I click the Submit/Search button on that form, instead of redirecting it just shows a message: Your responses were successfully submitted. Thank you! Any help would be very much appreciated!

I suggest re-reading sections 6, 7 & 8, specifically "Redirect to URL" and "It is also recommended to select Do not store entries submitted from this form in your Search Form Settings → General → On Submit section."

I actually ended up just deleting the searchForm, recreating it, and then it worked. GO figure.

Thanks!
