Search Actinic site from another site?

[sametch]

Is there any way of putting a search box on a different website that will in turn perform a search on an actinic site by jumping across and displaying the search results.

IE

searchbox on www.myotherdomain.co.uk

hitting the button returns the results page on

www.myactinicsite.co.uk

Yes - copy a fully generated simple search tool from a live Actinic page.

Then just add the following hidden field within the form:

<input type="hidden" name="ACTINIC_REFERRER" value="http://your.url.com/acatalog/">

What I was hoping to be able to do was to search my Actinic site from a different site.

If this can be done where do I post it to?

Code like this

<table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 border=0 height="37" align="center">
  <form name=simplesearch action="http://your.url.com/cgi-bin/ss000001.pl" METHOD="GET">
    <tr valign="middle"> 
      <td align="center" noWrap><input type="TEXT" name="SS" size="15" maxsize="125" value="Quick search" onFocus="this.value='';this.style.background='#FFFFFF'">
      </td>
      <td align="center" noWrap><input name="ACTION" type="image" id="ACTION" src="quicksearch.gif" width="49" height="19" border="0"> 
        <input type=HIDDEN name="PR" value="-1"> <input type=HIDDEN name="TB" value="A"> 
        <input type=HIDDEN name="SHOP" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="ACTINIC_REFERRER" value="http://your.url.com/acatalog/">
         </td>
    </tr>
  </form>
</table>

Will work anywhere on the Internet, and search an Actinic store - giving a list of results on the Actinic-generated search results page.
