Why having 2 separate blocks for AI search and Response

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 16 April 2025, 29 days ago

Problem/Motivation

  • The module provides 2 blocks, "AI Search" and "AI Search Response"
  • The "AI Search Response" shows the results when the form in "AI Search" is submitted
  • But because the response is shown in a different block, we can place it anywhere on the site and on any pages
  • In case the response block is not on the same page, there are errors throw,n and the user/admin does not know whether it is working or not

Steps to reproduce

  • Enable the module
  • Place the AI search block on the say homepage
  • Place the AI search response block on some other page
  • Try searching for something in the AI search form

Proposed resolution

Search block and response should be tied in one place
The search response should always be under the Search form
or
Search response could only be placed on the page/path where the block is placed and should not be allowed to be placed anywhere else.

    Why?

    Because sometimes you might want to have the search block in a separate theming section as the response zone.
    This is on purpose.
    Look at views (the forms and facets can also be places as blocks on other pages, this is by design).
    For now I wont be changing this unless you come with some really good reasoning.

    Different regions on the same page make sense, but what if both blocks are placed on different paths?

    In case the response block is not on the same page, there are errors throw,n and the user/admin does not know whether it is working or not
