    Error Customizing Search_Template.html

    I've attempted to customize search_template.html but I must have made a mistake somewhere because it's not producing any results. Before I customized it it was working fine.

    What I did was take a file from my site -- which has a header, footer, sidebar, main content area and links -- and add in the content from the search_template file.

    I put the meta info in the <head> and added the css to some other <style>s I'm using.

    I then added the "onload" line to the <body> tag.

    Finally, I added the "Search this site" text to a DIV.

    Then, I renamed the file and put it back on the server.

    But when I run a search, all I get is the "Search this site" text, no results.

    Thanks to anyone who can shed some light.

      Can you post the URL to the search function so that we can take a look.

          Did you forget to put the <!--ZOOMSEARCH--> tag in the file or somehow removed it? That's the most important thing, as it tells the script where to show the results, etc.

          See chapter 6 in the Users Guide for more information.

              Two months later I get around to working on the search function again -- and leaving out the <!--ZOOMSEARCH--> tag was the problem.

              I'm sure I'll have plenty more questions for you now that search is on the front burner, but thanks for your help with this.
