The code executed from the function (at the end of the function) is the following one.

  $form_state['redirect'] = $form_state['action'] . '/' . $keys;
  return;

The return statement is useless, as the function is already returning to the caller.

new remove-return-statement-from-search_form_submit-function-1817484-2.patch363 bytes

I am attaching a patch that removes the return statement from the search_form_submit function in search.pages.inc. Should this be back ported to D7 as well?

Makes sense to clean this up, if this code exists in 7.x too, then it could be backported, not *that* important, though.

The code of that function has not been changed since Drupal 6. On Drupal 5, the code was the following one.

  $keys = $form_values['processed_keys'];
  if ($keys == '') {
    form_set_error('keys', t('Please enter some keywords.'));
    // Fall through to the drupal_goto() call.
  }

  $type = $form_values['module'] ? $form_values['module'] : 'node';
  return 'search/' . $type . '/' . $keys;

In Drupal 6, the function uses $form_state['redirect'] = 'search/' . $type . '/' . $keys; but leaves the return statement which doesn't return anything.

Committed and pushed to 8.x and 7.x. Thanks!

Not sure about backporting such clean-up patches all the way to 6.x, but I'll move it there for porting.

I am not sure there is the need of changing the code for Drupal 6; it is not a bug, and leaving that statement doesn't have any bad consequences, especially because it's the last statement in the function.

I am attaching a patch for D6. I am still pretty new at writing patches so thank you for the practice!

Thanks for the backport! At this point I do not think we are committing anything except vital bug fixes to Drupal 6... and we had a gap where no one was maintaining the search module so your patch didn't get noticed back when it might have gotten committed. Sorry about that!

Actually, I was wrong. there is a chance this could be committed, as it's an obvious cleanup and will definitely not cause any problems to commit it. So I'll mark it as RTBC and we can see what happens.

These errors are unrelated to the patch, but I'm not going to click "retest" any more...

Talked with Gabor (the Drupal 6 branch maintainer) and D6 issues are really not being committed unless they're really essential -- we really don't have a test system for Drupal 6 and it's too dangerous. So... putting this back to D7 / fixed, even though this is a simple one-line patch.
