Search box on all pages, but results on new page

Hello,

I would like to place a search box on each form, just like you have on your website, but I would like the results to show up on a separate page. I realize that the results page has to be PHP page (no problem there), but I am not sure how to create the search box on the other pages that are already HTML based. I would appreciate it if I could speak to someone in support on this for a few minutes.

you just need to create the form on the page, and set the action of the form to post to the results page:

<form id="form1" method="post" action="results.php">      
        <input type="text" name="keyword" id="keyword" />
        <input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit" />     
</form>

you can add this form to all of your pages, and each one will post the keyword search term to the results.php page.

Hello Jason,

I was able to get that part done, and I thank you for your response. However, I am following the "Getting Started with Search For BOSS" guide, and I am on step 10 for "Add Search for BOSS", but I don't see what I think I should see. Instead I get the following dialog box:

Setup Instructions

To use dynamic data on this page:
1. Create a site for this file (checked)
2. Choose a document type (checked)
3. Set up the site's testing server
4. Create a recordset

Please let me know what should be in the testing server and what do I put in the recordset? Lastly, once I do these things, I should be able to expand the form that contains the search field, yes?

Please let me know today if possible. Thanks and have a wonderful holiday!

Regards,

See the "Defining a Dynamic Site in Dreamweaver" tutorial on the learning resources page for information on configuring the testing server tab of your site:
resources.php


You will not have to create a recordset for search for boss, the checklist will go away once the testing server is defined.

Hello Jason,


That approach worked. Thanks
