Customised searching

[Gareth1978]

I'm hoping that I can create a search box on one page that will search another page on the company intranet. I've found some code that I think should do the job but it doesn't seem to be working.

As a brief outline of what I want to do.

Page A has a search box. I enter Bloggs in it and it goes away and searches page B and displays any matching results.

Does anyone know how to get this to work ?

Thanks as always.

Two ways - either the search page does the work, or page B does the work:


1. search page parses page B, inserting tags (e.g. [tt]<span class="keyword">foo</span>[/tt]) around the keywords, then outputs the parsed file.

2. search page simply has a plain link to page B. Page B's code detects the keywords from the Referrer ENV-VAR, and inserts tags accordingly.
