Smarty get the while template from the class

I'm totally new to smarty... and it's creeping me out :)

I got the following class in /inc/class/search.php:

Class search
{
    function __construct($request) {
        global $dbconn;
        $request = htmlspecialchars($request);

        $sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE id LIKE '%{$request}%'";
        $res = $dbconn->Query($sql);
        $entity = $res->fetchArray();
        return $entity;
    }
}

I have this in php_head.php:

if (isset($_REQUEST['search']) && !empty($_REQUEST['search'])) {
    $is = new search($_REQUEST['search']);
    $smarty->assign("searchValues", $is);
}

This code in php_head is designed to be called by ajax later on. But when I run index.php?search=string I get the whole smarty template. Please help.

What you need to do is displaying only some part of output when search is in URL.

So you could modify your code this way:

if (isset($_REQUEST['search']) && !empty($_REQUEST['search'])) {
    $is = new search($_REQUEST['search']);
    $smarty->assign("searchValues", $is);
    $smarty->display('searchvalues.tpl'); // custom base template
    exit; // stop execution of later code
}

And you should create searchvalues.tpl template and display here only this part that you want to display and not the whole base template.

You need to clear template that you need for ajax, and if you want to include it in some other template 

{include file="path_to_template.tpl"}

And when you need only the result from this template use 

echo $smarty->fetch('path_to_template.tpl');

For example you have :

$smarty->display('index.tpl');// this will return index.tpl

And in index.tpl :

<div id="result_ajax">
    {include file="ajax_template.tpl"}
</div>

And in ajax.php : 

//Do some stuff
echo $smarty->fetch('ajax_template.tpl');
