Ok, so taking sharkyKZ's advice I have had a go at recreating my work but using Ajax. It has been difficult for my limited knowledge as it appears most examples are for older versions of joomla and this is my first time dabbling with ajax.
I settled on starting with this https://github.com/josedaboinv/Ajax-Sea ... mla-Module and after some editing have managed to get it to install on Joomla 5 and appear to work to a point.
The issue I am now having is that no matter what I put in the search I get the 'Sorry! No result for your search.' message. I get this even if I enter a number I know should return a result from the database. Can anyone advise where my limited knowledge has caused errors in the code or if I am way off.
