Tip: Add Advanced Search Form to Homepage

[SweetPotato]

Hi all

I saw Ceddy J's post about iFraming Advanced Search Onto The Homepage, Is There A Way? and thought I'd post one possible solution here.

Create a Text Box on your homepage (middle column best).

In HTML mode of that new Text Box, paste this:

<div class="advsearch"></div>

Now in your Custom Code, paste this:

<script type="text/javascript">
x$(document).ready(function() {
x$('.advsearch').load('/profiles/members/advancedSearch form#advancedMemberSearchForm');
});
</script>

You now have your advanced search form on your homepage. I tested it and it seemed to work OK.

Enjoy

Yeah but it doesn't make the forms inside smaller. 

[SweetPotato]

not that code specifically, but you could make them smaller with some more css if you were so inclined

It works awesome, thanks SP!

Quick question, do u know how to add other fields on the advance search?
I am mainly interested in text boxes (since it is not possible to look into them through the search function on the floating bar). But forum, blog... would be also nice to have =)

Thanks!

This is a member search form so it won't include free text searches in posts or blogs, and as far as I know text box modules on the homepage don't get included in search, although pages do.

So what is the difference with just go to /profiles/members/advancedSearch ?
