Hi b-online -
To add a search box to the front page, you just have to add a form, like so:
Code:
<form method="get" action="search/search.php">
<input type="text" name="query_string" size="12" maxlength="50" /><br />
<input type="submit" name="search" value="Go" />
</form>
So, to make the form point to the search page, and take the user there when he clicks the submit button, just change the "action=" part to point to the search script.
Let me know if you have any questions.
