Create a standalone search box

Here is how you can hack a standalone search box. This requires basic knowledge of how html forms work. 

What you will need:

1. A page containing a php/asp snippet for a search-enabled shop
2. Any other page in your site

Ok, so for this example let's say we have:

1. search.php, our landing page with a PopShops shop snippet already embedded
2. index.php, our home page

If you want a search box inside your home page, just add the following the name of the landing page ("search.php") to "form action" to index.php (our home page):

Code:


<form action="search.php">
  <input type="text" name="psps_search" />
  <input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>

Easy peasy.

Notes:
* The action for the form should point to the location of the search.php.
* The search function only searches merchants present in your shop


Have fun,
