how do i add a search to my homepage?

norcalmxpics

im going to be using smugmug to handle my pictures, but my homepage is going to be seperate from smugmug with a link to my pictures in smugmug. Im doing this because i dont want to use smugmugs layout for my website. All i can do is have a custom header with smugmug, and i need the entire homepage custom. But I would also like to add a picture search feature to my homepage. any ideas how i could do this?

What Smugmug layout? You can design it just about any way you want it with
a power or pro account.

Picture search on your non-Smugmug page? You might be able to code the
search form to search your Smugmug site. Someone else can answer that.

Try this:

<*form method="get" action="http://[B]xxxxxxxx[/B].smugmug.com/search/index.mg">
<*input type="text" name="searchWords" />
<*input type="hidden" name="searchType" value="InUser" />
<*input type="hidden" name="NickName" value="[B]xxxxxxxx[/B]" />
<*input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" size="20" class="buttons"/>
<*/form>

Replace the x's with your site nickname. Remove the *'s after <
The top search box on this page is the above code:
