Moin moin, I have a question. I looked at the microblog, especially the point search. I would like to put it on my page. There is the point Search and I have to assign something there ![Bildschirmfoto 2026-05-22 um 20.49.41](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/9/9/9964cabcca41cd76c36c8e7d0379c5e02dca3256.png) When I do that and upload everything, the following error message appears. ![Bildschirmfoto 2026-05-22 um 20.49.14](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/5/f/5f3d1ed95f3213ca2467068bbc48c112ee4142b2.png) The structure is this ![Bildschirmfoto 2026-05-22 um 20.53.35](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/5/d/5d178568d989b68fc3929ba8bc3325ec77b45aab.jpeg) What exactly am I doing wrong?

Moin Mike, your setup looks correct so far. What can lead to the error is the pretty URL switch. Try it again by deselecting it. ---

Hi Markus, I just checked both URLs and when I go directly to the post, the ?item= is still there, but when I access it through the search, it’s not. ---

Now it works IS THERE ANYTHING NEW FROM YOU SOON? E.g. a complete blog page Best regards Mike PS: I wonder if the CMS search needs a special place? Or can you put it anywhere? ---

> [@Blumik](#): > > IS THERE ANYTHING NEW FROM YOU SOON Soon - no - I am working on something big regarding CMS. But there is also a new version of Maximilian and the search function is implemented here. > [@dan](#): > > You can place it anywhere 🙂 In my case it was not working within a collection. But this was with Elements 2.4.0 and maybe it is now different. ---

Maybe everyone else knows this already, but I just discovered it. The CMS Search component works on any PHP page. It doesn’t have to be on the page that has the collection. I turned mine into a global and put it on a page without the collection and it works.
