How do you setup a search input form ?

[rebriden]

I just recently started setting up SS, and can't seem to figure out how to setup a search input form. I see tons of documentation on setting up the results page, but nothing on setting up the input form. If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know. Thanks for your help!

In a page template you use the template tag [-- SEARCH_FORM --]

If you don't like the way the default formatting for the form is you can use that tag to display the required html on a page and then copy that html and modify it and replace the [-- SEARCH_FORM --] tag with your modified html.

ON the search results page template you can use the tag
[-- SEARCHRESULT_FORM --]

Again if you don't like the format you can copy the html generated by that tag and modify it and replace the tag with your version of the html.

Note: in order for the store to be indexed for searching you must have at least 1 page which has the page field Product Search Field: check box checked.

These 2 links give more information on the above tags.
