Is there something wrong with this ajaxSearch string? Its installed in my sites template, if that has anything to do with it.

[!AjaxSearch? $introMessage=`` &boxText=`` &searchButtonText=`Find`!]

:(

What I want is for it to say nothing underneath it until it searches...I also want to get rid of the loading gifs if possible (the little red botton and spinning animation..)

Try nuking the space after the "?".

Or try using & instead of $ for the arguments.

Tried those to no avail. I been moving the syntax around for hours, heh, no change. Could it possibly have something to do with the template?

<head>
	<title>[(site_name)] - [*pagetitle*]</title>
	<meta http-equiv+"Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
	<link href="style1.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
	<body>
	<div id="header">
		<div id="branding"><h1>the Star * Junction</h1></div>
                        <div id="search"><p>[!AjaxSearch?&introMessage=`Hello` &boxText=`Search Here` &searchButtonText=`Find`!]</p?</div>
<div id="tagline"><p>[*longtitle*]</p></div>
		</div><!-- end header div -->
<div id="navigation">
[[Wayfinder? &startId=`0` &level=`0`]]
</div><!-- end Navigation div -->
<div id="bodycontent">
<p>[*content*]</p>

	</div><!-- end of bodycontent div -->	
	</body>
</html>

Ok, I see the problem. introMessage is not a snippet argument. You have to edit the snippet code at this point:

 // $introMessage [ string ]
   // This is the text that will show up if the person arrives
   // at the search page without having done a search first.
   // You can leave this as an empty string if you like.
   $introMessage = '';

Oh, interesting. Are none of those arguments then? I was going by the example calls in the code. Thanks, Ill try it!

I dont know PHP at all (if thats even what this is)

And that was it, thanks a lot! Is there a way to get rid of the default animated .gif and stop button after you hit the search button, or at least a way to change them? I didnt see it in the options.

You can edit those images in assets/snippets/AjaxSearch/AjaxSearch.js.

Can you just get rid of them, or will that return an error?

Probably the easiest way to do this is to replace them both with the same 1x1 pixel transparent gif (since you’d have to edit the JavaScript otherwise or I believe you would get an error message).
