Documentation on How to ADD a search box/button to a page?

Hi,

I would like to add the Search feature to my pages but I can not find the documentation for it.  Can someone direct me to the supporting docs for this feature?

I would recommend putting the search box in the header of your site that way it appears on every page. Here is a link to the documentation that should help get you started.

Hi Aaron,

Okay, I agree with your suggestion that the Search should be in the Header space... Where is it best to add the code?

In the Layout.Master and where  OR ????

Hi Aaron,

Thanks but I think I will give this feature a pass.  I looked at the Layout.Master and all that html and CSS stuff puts me in a fog... I find it illogical at best and at worst is confusing as heck.  It was a nice to have feature but until it comes out as a built in page "feature" I'll just go without.  I have enough with the rest of the site that is not working properly to add another to my headaches.

Thanks, I really do appreciate the assistance.

Hi Aaron,

Just sent you a new Layout.Master file that has an error that is fixed.  Sorry but your code was not in this version.  Can I ask you to apply your changes to this Layout.Master.

Thanks
Phill
