  I am using an old version so I’ll assume that it is not possible.
  
  Thank though,

  Put AjaxSearch on http://scoopex1988.org , and it works. However, it keeps the Search Results box open while navigating. How do I fix this?

  Simply by download the last release of ajaxSearch You use the version 1.6 which doesn’t manage the opacity parameter.
  Upgrade to the last version and let me know the results.
  
  How have you create your logo ? Very impressive

  Worked a charm! Thank you
  
  Logo, menu, and bg (basically, all the good looking stuff ) were made by our group member Core, I did the remainder.
  
  In IE6, the search result box is rendered behind the below content text, despite z-index:3; for the div in the css. (Just like before, just wondered if there was a way...)

  It should be a css issue on your own site. On the AjaxSearch Demo site, select "english documents" and "absolute" as subset of documents and as template, and try to search one of the suggested word proposed by the link "search words". The search results box is displaying above the content area of the document. To solve your issue dowload the absolute.css file and compare with your own css file; the absolute.css file could be downloaded on the description page of the version 1.7.1.

  Well, that’s a matter of CSS styling, the search button has the following id : #ajaxSearch_submit
  You’ll find the entire CSS class used by the snippet in the snippet’s documentation...
  
  Now back on my question :
  
  I have been enjoying the new features of 1.7.1, everything works great (limiting search with &parents is a bliss !).
  
  One thing I wonder since it’s not in the doc is the templating : are there parameters to use a chunk as an alternate to the default form, result... templates (i.e can I use something like &resultForm= `chunk` ?) or do I have to edit template.inc.php (my problem with that would be to make the changes site wide which might not be great since I’ll use the &parents parameters to have differents searches in the website I am working on...) ?

  Now back on my question : I dont wanna use a background. Dont think it does what i want. Or does it?
  My formbutton for eForm i could change in the chunk. Looking for something similar here.

  @DavidM :

  No. The only way to change the form is to customize the default template file.
  
  

  (my problem with that would be to make the changes site wide which might not be great since I’ll use the &parents parameters to have differents searches in the website I am working on...) ?

  Not sure to understand your needs. Do you need to change the form of the search (so I undertsand the use of &resultForm= `chunk`) or the subset of documents where to search (&parents parameter) ?
  Form should be changed through the default template (or in future through a chunk) and subset through &parents in templates or in documents.
  Where do you put you snippet call? in templates or in documents ?

  @AndreasE
  The templating possibilities of ajaxSearch 1.7.1 are very poor and needs to be improved. With the current version you have to change the default template file includes/templates.inc.php
