Problem adding search to page / Array 'search.results' is not paginateable

I am having trouble adding a standard/free/shopify search to the body of a page. Ideally I'd be able to add it into a section - I'd have thought this would be simple, however I've followed this solution to add a search bar as a section.

 

https://community.shopify.com/c/shopify-design/add-search-bar-as-a-section-dawn-theme/m-p/1902558

 

I see the following error:  

Liquid error (sections/main-search line 66): Array 'search.results' is not paginateable.

 I'm not sure how to solve this. Is there an easier way to add a shopify search into the body of my page? Or how would I fix the above? The main-search.liquid file has not been changed.

Hello @Jamwee 
You need to pass the current handle to the pagination
For example 

{% paginate search[handle].results by 24 %}

Hey @Huptech-Web - thank you so much for the reply! 

I've had a google and I'm not totally sure what to add as the handle. Apologies, I'm fairly new to Shopify. I'm trying to let the search look across all products. Are you able to direct me as to what value I should be using?

Thanks again!

Hi, @Jamwee 
If the section is only available for products then let's take an example here
This is a product URL: http://xyz.com/collections_name/product_name 
Then product_name will be the handle of the product.

You can find more details of the handle here: https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/objects/handle 
- https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/basics#handles 

In your code replace the code below 

{% paginate search[handle].results by 24 %}

With

{% assign current_handle = handle %}
{% paginate search[current_handle].results by 24 %}
