Search from non-vb page?

[sianews]

How do you put a working seach box on a non vb page?

[SaintDog]

All you basically have to do is open up your search template and cut it down to size until you get it to how you like it. I have placed a cut down version of the form that search.php uses below, I hope this helps you in some way, or at least directs you in the right way .

If you will look on the form, you will see that the action is set to: action="search.php" - You will need to change that to reflect the URL to search.php if you plan on using this on a non-php page.

<form action="search.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]">
	<input type="text" class="bginput" name="query" size="35"><br>
	<input type="hidden" name="action" value="simplesearch">
	<input type="submit" class="bginput" name="Submit" value="Perform Search" accesskey="s">
	<input type="reset" class="bginput" name="Reset" value="Reset Fields">
</table>
</form>

Hope this helps,

Works (which is further then I was), but it never returns matches.

I have it working in nuke -- it returns matches.

I've attached the code that I used. You'll need to take out all the extra backslashes, but it should hopefully work for you.

Thanks - that worked.
