I am trying to make the simple site search work but i can’t. I activate the action to the site folder and there is an error massage. Then I go to a the home page, I design an HTML text box and when I try to activate the action I just can’t find it in the pop up menu (there’s only the ‘remove from site search’ action). Anybody can help? Thanks
I found it. The HTML text its not an HTML box, but you have to choose it from the pop up menu: HTML text. Then you have to choose a button. All the explanations you can find at the latest version of USers Guide at the freeway site.
There are 3 different Actions required for this to work.
The Folder Action - ‘Simple Site Search’ that you apply to your Site folder in the Side Pane. Page>Folder Actions>Simple Site Search
Item Action - Applied to the Text Field that you are using for your Search Box. Item>Actions>Simple Site Search
The third is the Action that you draw on your FW page to show the results. Click on the Toolbar Actions Icon (the one with the small FW Cog). Choose Simple Site Search from the Drop Down and ‘draw’ an instance of the action on your FW page where you want the results to appear.
Regarding the Simple Site Search, I’m getting negative feedback about the fact that the search term disappears from the search field when the results come back.
Is this normal behavior for the Simple Site Search, and is there anything I can do to change it?

You can add this with JavaScript if you like. On the results page, apply the Protaculous Action, choose prototype-packed from the library picker, and paste the following into the top Function Body dialog:
var q = window.location.search.parseQuery()['q'] || '';
$$('input[name="q"]').first().setValue(q);
That’s all you need, and you only need it on the results page.

OK. That’s what I needed to know. Thank you much (and, yes, I know the name of which you speak).
