Confirmed. Since normal links do work, I assume it would also be possible for GET forms to work as well. Not sure about POST forms.

Actually, you can preview a search results page. You just can't access the search results by navigating within the customizer. The workaround is to do the search on the frontend, and then on the search results page, access the Customize link from the admin bar, and it will load up the Customizer with the preview open to that search results page, e.g.: http://src.wordpress-develop.dev/wp-admin/customize.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsrc.wordpress-develop.dev%2F%3Fs%3Dtest

I've been working on this as a part of #30028, which would ensure that the Customizer can be used to preview all form submissions and even Ajax requests.

Previewing of form submissions (both POST and GET requests), as well as jQuery Ajax requests, have been implemented at https://github.com/xwp/wordpress-develop/pull/61

  • Milestone changed from 4.6 to Future Release

Punting due to transactions being too large to finish patch and test in time for 4.6.

I just realized a very simple fix for this, and it's not dependent on transactions at all. All we have to do is listen for form submit events and if the form has a GET request method and if the action points to a URL for the current WP instance, then we can just serialize the form's data and amend it to the action URL and send this new URL in the url message to the Customizer pane, just as happens when clicking a regular link.
