Search box on search page

[VBCoder]

Request:

Show the user the search box, along with what he typed in, on the search results page.

(This is trickier than it sounds!)

Are you talking about the advanced or the simple search?

[VBCoder]

Simple search results - but the same would be useful for advanced search results

[amykhar]

Sort of like a search again?

[VBCoder]

Yep

.......

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Don't sound too much difficult to me, i think any real VBCoder should be able to do it. ;)

This one's cake. It's a template mod.

I have the search box in my navbar. I set the value of the textbox to $search[query]

Try putting the form in your Search Results template and see if that doesn't do it.

Back with more detail. This is what I have in my navbar template. Try it in your search results template

<form action="search.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />
<input type="hidden" name="showposts" value="0" />
<input type="hidden" name="quicksearch" value="1" />
<input type="text" class="bginput" name="query" size="31" value="$search[query]"/> <input type="submit" value="Search EA" />
</form><br><span align="right" class="smallfont"><a href="/forums/search.php?">Advanced Search</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>

What about when the user chose options, like search this forum only?

It's working fine for me as long as results are returned.
