Specifying seach template in search url Can't Post
The default search results template is located at /templates/search/search_results.html.

Now I have another search results template that I will use for displaying search results, say /templates/search/search_results_2.html

I dont want to overwrite search_results.html. Instead I want to use the second template for another form.

Is there a way to pass an argument to exec/search.cgi so that I can specify which search template to use ?

Something like search.cgi?template=search_results_2.htm

Thanks

Hi there!

That's exactly right, except you also need to tell the search engine that you're actually searching. So, the query would be like this:

http://yoursite.com/path/to/search.cgi?search=1&template=search_results_2.html

Give that a try and let me know how it goes. :)
