Description
This module is what I have been looking for, very nice!
But unfortunately I can't use it yet because our site is still Drupal 4.7.6 and will have to stay 4.7.6 until all installed modules have a 5.x release.
So my question is: I would like this module in Drupal 4.7.6..... is it difficult to make one? I would try it myself but I don't know where to start.

I don't think it would be too difficult to backport this module. It's mostly a matter of dealing with form API changes between 4.7 and 5. Unfortunately I probably won't have time to work on this, but if you are able to backport it I would create a DRUPAL-4-7 branch for the project.

I have tried to make it work in 4.7.6 last night for a couple of hours, but with no success. After pressing the "Search" button in /search/coop, Drupal always shows its "page not found" page. It seems to me that the query arguments on the URL (the stuff after the "?") are confusing to either Apache's mod_rewrite or to some Drupal function, I don't know.
I have given up and will instead spend some more energy in upgrading our site to 5.x.
Thanks,
Jurjen.

+1 for this as a 4.7 module!

Is there a way to embed the results without even needed a complete module?

Hi guys,
We also needed a 4.7 version, so we went ahead and made one (see attachment).
Note: It works slightly different to the 5.x version, in that a themeable search block is used instead of the search form on a page. Seems to work pretty well, but my Drupal development skills are a little rusty at the moment, so please improve/make corrections if necessary, and re-submit back here. Thanks!

Now that Drupal 6 is out, I won't be adding a Drupal 4.7 branch to this module. But if anyone needs it they can still find the download link here.
