section list not visible on search page

[kdw]

I'm very new to actinic and was wondering why the section list which I have visible in the left column on my catalog pages disappears on the search page. How can I get this to be included?
Help would be appreciated. I am using one of the clean themes and the section list appears on all the other catalog pages without a problem.
Thanks
Keith

This is a really frustrating limitation of the variable NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP within the overall layout template (Act_Primary.html).

If you are feeling confident with HTML, you can try replacing it with a section list created by JavaScript.

To do this, go to 'Design | Options | Layouts' and click 'Edit' next to 'Default Overall Layout'. Find the line that says

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="actinicextras.js" TYPE="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>

Underneath this paste in the following:

<!--@act NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONTREE_RAW -->

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function SectionList(ar)
{
var strIDs = '<table border=0 width=95% cols=2>';
for (var i=1;i<=ar.length;i++)
{
if (ar[i].sURL !=null)
{
strIDs += '<tr><td colspan=2><a href="' + ar[i].sURL + '"><span class="actxxsmall"><font color=white>' + ar[i].sName + '</font></span></a></td></tr>';
{
if (ar[i].pChild)
{
for (var j=1;j<=ar[i].pChild.length;j++)
{
if (j <= ar[i].pChild.length)
{
strIDs += '<tr><td><img src=shim.gif width=5></td><td><a href="' + ar[i].pChild[j].sURL + '"><span class="actxxsmall"><font color=white>' + ar[i].pChild[j].sName + '</font></span></a></td></tr>';
}
}
}
}
}
}
strIDs += '</table>' 
return strIDs
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

Then further down look for

NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP

Replace this with

<!-- NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP--><script language=Javascript1.1>document.write(SectionList(section_tree))
</script>

I am fine editing even complicated html by hand so no problem.
