  That sounds like it could be possible, Ihadn’t thought of doing it that way. Has anyone used a snippet to do this before? If not I will have to look into doing it. I think it sounds like a good idea.

  Out of curiosity, what happens if someone happens to have JS turned off with this... does it degrade and work like a regular old search form?

  If the user does not have javascript enabled, the snippet will use the default searching of the FlexSearchForm snippet.

  Looking at this quote from the first post, I would guess "yes"..

  Yep, it works just like the old search form. I use javascript to change the functionality of the form, so if there is no javascript, it does the original form action.

  Updated: 03/20/2006 - After receiving some feedback I have modified the snippet a little. There is now a button that appears to close the search box after a search. Also I have made the snippet output the parameters set in the snippet to a bit of javascript so that I can use them in the ajax call. So you do not have to update the file ajaxSearch.php for your search settings. A thank you goes out to sottwell for these great ideas.

  Thanks for the quick update, this is really a COOL snippet, I’d push in favor of having it in the distro

  That would be great! Feel free to look at the code and make any changes necessary to include it.

  Can you merge in the FlexSearchForm result keyword highlighting mod? I think that would make the ULTIMATE search snippet!
