just for sh**s and giggles, i threw this together and it actually works from an external page

:cool:


```php


























Search Back Issues





```

couple of quick notes i think i see...
line 1-use index.php if you don't use SEO or Catalog
Line 10-change the bgcolor and/or the width to suit your taste

I commented out the category option box, BUT you can use it if you like, just hardcode it.

EDIT:
I setup a quick test page for ya.

[URL="http://www.xnat.com/test_search.html"]http://www.xnat.com/test_search.html[/URL]

Also added one with the categories:

[URL="http://www.xnat.com/test_search2.html"]http://www.xnat.com/test_search2.html[/URL]

(Femlin will not show up in a few of these categories though)

Try this…

View Source on your site…

Find the Search Template

Copy and Paste everything between the as indicated below (using your values of course):








paste that into the page where it belongs right after this line:





You can always View Source on the 2 test pages I have up to help you locate where to put the categories.
