        return render_template("/search.html")

How my search route appears

This the code used in my app.py. I have tried

{href=”./search.html”}

but there is no difference.

Answer

EDIT

to link your routes from within your HTML pages, you can use the url_for function inside double curly brackets. so in your case it would be something like this:

<a href="{{url_for('search')}}">Search Page</a>

note that the value you pass into url_for is the name of the function for your route, not the route itself.
