Submitted search terms from search page overridden by query string search terms

First, great product! Second, I'm currently testing the free version on my company's dynamic website to see if we want to switch our current search engine to the enterprise version of your product. So far I have everything setup and working well except for one issue.

The site is .NET 3.5 framework. I'm using a custom search page (default.aspx), inside my Search folder, with the embedded CGI code added per manual instructions. I modified the CGI search page template to display the following layout on my search page:

<!--ZOOM_SHOW_HEADING-->
<!--ZOOM_SHOW_SUMMARY-->
<!--ZOOM_SHOW_PAGESCOUNT-->
<br />
<!--ZOOM_SHOW_PAGENUMBERS-->
<!--ZOOM_SHOW_RESULTS-->
<!--ZOOM_SHOW_PAGENUMBERS-->
<br />

In my site header, I have a search box and button which submits search terms to my custom search page and displays the results just fine. I also have a search box and button on my search results page so users can reenter search keywords there instead of having to go back up the site common header. When I submit the keyword search from the results page box, the displayed results are still based on the query string keyword results from the site header search box. How do I resolve that issue and get the search results page search submission to update to the new keyword search?

Thanks for the positive feedback.

The problem might be because the results search form is within an outer <form>...</form> tag that is enclosing the page. Check the "View source" on the page to see what's happening.

If this is the case, replace the search form with this:

You can disable the generated search form in the indexer configuration, "Configure"->"Search Page"->and change the search form dropdown box from "Advanced" or "Basic" to "Do not generate".

Sometimes when you've stared at code so long, it's easy to miss the simple things. Thank you very much, that solution worked perfectly. I wasn't even thinking the issue could be resolved outside the template tags solution.

Thank you very much Ray, that solution worked perfectly. Sometimes when staring at code too long, the simplest solutions escape us and a fresh pair of eyes help look at the issue helps a lot. Was stuck on trying to solve it using the template tags and wasn't thinking outside the box. Thanks again.
