hmm, i think i tracked this down to

Anyhow, after replacing this with $page.Permalink everything seems to work fine.
(I still have baseURL = "http://example.org/subdir/", realtiveURLs = false, canonifyURLs = true in our config.toml).

Not sure this is the best fix though, maybe it would be smarter to prefix the baseURL in js when showing the results?

Hi!
Well, it should work as expected, I think we need to look at your configuration.

if you clone repo and run hugo on example site as

cd exampleSite
hugo serve --themesDir ... --bind=0.0.0.0 --baseURL=http://localhost:1313/example/xyz

At least ot works as expected for me.
Perhaps compare config with what is in exampleSite

hmm, i guess if you cannot reproduce then the problem is probably on our side somewhere...

closing this for now, fix is above if others should stumble over the same problem...

our config.toml at the moment looks like this:

baseURL = "http://example.org/subdir/XYZ"
relativeURLs = false
canonifyURLs = true
title = 'foobar'
theme = 'hugo-book-9'

Well, sorry folks to "resurrect" this one.

I'm having the same issue. I do have a GitLab Page that is hosted on https://<user>.pages.domain.com/<repository>. In this same project I'm using the config (just the part that matters):

baseURL: https://user.pages.domain.com/docs
canonifyURLs: true

And I need/want to use canonifyURLs: true otherwise my images don't get loaded, since I'm using:

![My image][/images/my-image.png]

(Doesn't matter if I cant to images/my-image.png or make it relativeURLs: true... by doing that I do have the images being loaded, or the page assets don't get loaded, or the search doesn't work. One of the options will fail.

So, I was digging into the theme code, and I found and also came to this issue, and I found that @joernhees came to the same solution that I came up with... Just to replace the:

With:

const searchDataURL = '{{ $searchData.Permalink }}';

Solves the issues for all cases (I mean, you are still now able to use:

relativeURLs: true
canonifyURLs: false

'Cause, it will break some theme assets loading, but all other combinations seem to work... So, I'm submitting a PR to change this line.
