As far as I can tell Magento2 is not working as expected here.

In /Magento_CatalogSearch/layout/ I have 4 XML files:

catalogsearch_advanced_index.xml
catalogsearch_advanced_results.xml
catalogsearch_result_index.xml
default.xml

In the top of each of these files I have the following line:

<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="1column" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">

Notice it says layout="1column". I have cleared caches, I have re-indexed.

Despite all of this my search results page is still using 2columns-left.

My search results page is using 2columns-left as its template file. How do I change this so my search results page is using 1column?

Here is the full contents of catalogsearch_result_index.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

                        <argument name="positioned" xsi:type="string">positions:list-secondary</argument>

                    </block>
                    <action method="setToolbarBlockName">
                        <argument name="name" xsi:type="string">product_list_toolbar</argument>

                    </block>
                </block>
                <action method="setListOrders"/>
                <action method="setListModes"/>
                <action method="setListCollection"/>
            </block>
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

Reset to default

In catalogsearch_result_index.xml use <update handle="1column"/> after <layout> start.

So it should be like this 

<body xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_layout.xsd"> 
<update handle="1column"/>........your other codes

Clear cache, deploy static files and check

  • when you put <layout xmlns:xsi="... did you mean to put <body xmlns:xsi="... or are you suggesting that I should change body to layout?

    ok, putting <update handle="1column"> directly after the <body> tag results in the page being completely blank?

    How do you use 1-column layout only for "no results" and keep 2-column for when there are results?

You have to just add below file inside app/design/frontend/{Package}/{themename}/Magento_CatalogSearch/ content for catalogsearch_result_index.xml

 <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="1column" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    
    </page>

Flush the cache php bin/magento cache:flush

  • This works for Magento 2.4.2, hint: make sure that you are using 1column not 1-column

I'm putting this here since it essentially provides the intended result, even though it doesn't do it the perfect way. Changing the layout attribute or using a update handle (mentioned in previous examples) of Magento_CatalogSearch/layout/catalogsearch_result_index.xml did not actually change the layout of the page as you can confirm by checking the body class. I would love to know why this isn't working since the same approach works in other modules. It could be something on my installation, but judging by the other responses here it could be something else.

If you target the Main Sidebar you can essentially achieve the desired 1column layout.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="1column" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="sidebar.main" remove="true" />
    </body>
</page>

My page element layout attribute is set to "1column" here, but through testing it is being ignored.
