In a previous Sharepoint set-up a created a sub site /search and copied my custom display template in the folder:
/_catalogs/masterpage/Display%20Templates/Search
The folder contains HTML and javascript files.
In my new set-up I created a separate site collection for search. The Display template folder now shows only javascript files without HTML files. When I copy my HTML template in this folder it is not converted to javascript.
How to activate my custom search display template in my new setup?
