Converting Google Search Button into Drupal search block ?
p0732658 - April 9, 2008 - 00:17
HI !
I'm not a coder and have very limited php skill so maybe what I'm asking is impossible... Library and Archive Canada provide an Google search button to add to Firefox or Explorer:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <custombuttons xmlns="http://toolbar.google.com/custombuttons/">
- <button>
<search>http://search-recherche.collectionscanada.ca/fed/searchResults.jsp?FormName=Fed+Simple+Search&QueryText={query}&SourceQuery=&ResultCount=5&PageNum=1&MaxDocs=%2d1&SortSpec=score+desc&Language=fre&Sources=amicus&Sources=mikan&Sources=web</search>

</custombuttons>Would it be possible to convert something like this into a search block for Drupal?
OpenSearch Plugin
Have you seen the OpenSearch Plugin module? It can create an opensearch.xml document that integrates into the search box in Firefox and iE and even encodes your site's favicon for you (that's what all that
<icon mode="base64">stuff is in your post).If you don't want to use yet another module, just copy the opensearch.xml document once the OpenSearch Plugin has created it and hard-code the
<link rel="search">tag that references it into your Drupal theme. Then disable the OpenSearch Plugin module.After examining the source of Library and Archives Canada
After examining the source of Library and Archives Canada Web page and the above code from the google plugin, I've came up with this code to insert a search box in my Website :
<form id="searchForm" method="get" action="http://search-recherche.collectionscanada.ca/amicus/searchResults.jsp?Language=fre" target="greybox" ><p>
<input type="hidden" name="FormName" value="AMICUS Simple Search" />
<input type="hidden" name="PageNum" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="SortSpec" value="score desc" />
<input type="hidden" name="Language" value="fre" />
<input type="hidden" name="QueryParser" value="lac_amicus" />
<input type="hidden" name="Sources" value="amicus" />

The search box perform perfectly and ofter the results in an new browser windows form Library and Archives Canada search pages. Howerver , how could I get the
<form id="searchForm" method="get" action="http://search-recherche.collectionscanada.ca/amicus/searchResults.jsp?Language=fre" target="greybox" >attribute to open in a greybox windows?
