Searching Actinic Pages outside of actinic
Backstory:
For a while we've used Xtreme Search as our website search engine, we'd run the index on a weekly or monthly basis to keep it up to date. This meant we had an index of the full site. Recently we decided to move to a "product only" search, aka actinic's internal search. This move is because we now quite like the results it gives as in older versions it didn't always appear to be accurate. Anyhow after some coming and going and discussion with support we've a simple solution now implemented which i wanted to share with you for future use.
Code:
Obviously change it to your domain 
You may also need to put at the end of your domain the folder in which actinic sits. Our CGI-bin sit's outside of the actinic folder and so we don't need one, your's may or may not be the same.
Also dependant on what you want the search box to say before someone clicks into it change the "quick search" value to be what you need it to be.
Finally:
Have a nice day, you deserve it
