The following is a step-by-step tutorial that will show you how to create a working search dialog using the CMSSearchDialog and CMSSearchResults controls:

 

1. Create a new Web form somewhere in your website installation directory.

 

2. Switch to its Design tab, drag and drop a CMSSearchDialog control from the toolbox onto the form.

 

3. Now drag and drop a CMSSearchResults control form the toolbox onto the form below the CMSSearchDialog and set its CMSSearchDialogID property to CMSSearchDialog1.

 

The code of the two controls should look like this:

 

<cms:CMSSearchDialog ID="CMSSearchDialog1" runat="server" />

 

<cms:CMSSearchResults ID="CMSSearchResults1" runat="server" CMSSearchDialogID="CMSSearchDialog1">

</cms:CMSSearchResults>

 

4. Save the changes to the web form. Now right-click it in the Solution explorer and select View in Browser. The resulting page will contain  a functional search dialog that will allow you to search the sample Corporate Site:
