Site search from HTML email form

[paulbeckett]

Hi

I am trying to include a site search in my marketing email but it is not working. I think perhaps??? because I have dropdone choices.

If you type in a search term and hit go - a page on my site appears stating Missing text search join mode. Please specify AND or OR.

Can anyone recomend what the correct form action is:

<form action="http://www.kjbeckett.com/ss000001.pl?" method="get" name="simplesearch" id="simplesearch">

<input type="text" name="searchfield" style="font: normal 10px Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; background: #ffc; width: 100px;">
<br>

<input type="submit" align="absmiddle" value="Go " title="Search" style="font: bold 10px Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; color: #fff; background-color: #c00; border: 1px solid #e1eaf7;">
</form>

Kind regards

Paul

Not tested, but have you tried using the standard quick search code in your email, such as:

<form name=simplesearch action="http://www.mydomain.co.uk/cgi-bin/ss000001.pl" METHOD="GET">
<input type="TEXT" name="SS" size="11" maxsize="125" value="Quick search" onFocus="this.value='';this.style.background='#FFFFFF'"> &nbsp; 
<input type="image" border="0" name="ACTION" src="quicksearch.gif" alt="Go!">
<input TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="PR" VALUE="-1">
<input TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="TB" VALUE="A">
<input TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="SHOP" VALUE="">
</form>

If it works you can then modify it - rather than the other way around.
