It really should zoom to the feature. Maybe it is an issue of map scale
or units? What units and scales are you using?

Do you have the search somewhere available to test or can you share a
snippet from the search result?

Here is a valid request on my server and the corresponding result:

http://webgis.uster.ch/wsgi/search.wsgi?query=&searchtables=&query=Hasenb%C3%BCe&cb=stcCallback1003

stcCallback1003({"results": [

Currently it is hardwired to a column named "tooltip". You need to
create an attribute or column in your table or view named "tooltip".

Currently there is no way to know which column is set for the maptip.
Later we will take the column name from the QGIS configuration as soon
as QGIS server supports that. The current GetCapabilities request does
not tell us which column is set for map tips. I think this will be
available later this spring as we also want to have the ability to
dynamically set map tips for QGIS client.

Hope this helps,
Andreas
