Call the standard search template from html form

I am wanting to hook up the search field in an Editable Text webpart up to the standard search template results page. I tried this which obviously didn't work. Any suggestions to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.


<form class="form-inline" action="/kcms/search.aspx" method="get">
<div class="input-append">
<input class="span2" id="appendedInputButton" type="text" name="searchtext">
<button class="btn" type="button"><i class="icon-chevron-right icon-white"> </i></button>
</div>
<input type="hidden" name="searchmode" value="anyword">
</form>

The reason it wont work is because an asp.net web page can only have one < form > tag. If the current search box webpart doesn't work, simply clone it and make modifications as needed.


Member	jjarrett-flsouthern - 8/21/2013 2:44:31 PM RE:Call the standard search template from html form Thanks for the info. First time doing any work in ASP.NET. That search box was just excerpted from the entire navigation bar which search is just a part. I will have to rethink what I'm doing since just calling a search page or service isn't really an option it looks like.

Setting up site search within Kentico should take about 10-15 minutes at most for very basic search functionality when you have done it a few times.
