want a search box on an existing page?

I talked a little about front ends in my previous post…

Creating a front end in the admin console is pretty straight forward. Customizing that front end – extensive customization anyway requires you to modify the xslt.

What if you just want to put a search box on an existing web page, and have that search box point to your search appliance?

That can be accomplished by adding this bit of code:

<form action=’https://mysitesurl/search’ method=’get’ >
<input type=’hidden’ name=’collection’ value=’default_collection’>

That should do it.
