I want to build a custom search page for my whole blog space, you’d think it was easy, but it seems not. I am looking to parameterise the use of keywords or tags. Here are my notes and links.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here is a mock-up of what it might be.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So making the page is not hard, or shouldn’t be. But invoking the queries, and formatting the output seems a bit harder.\u00a0 The HTML code is in this git repo<\/a>. Here are some links I found, or expect to find useful.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Creating a simple search box<\/a>, at Codebox<\/li>\n
  2. <input type=”search”><\/a> , at the Mozilla Development Network<\/li>\n
  3. Forms can<\/strong> take multiple actions<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  4. How to add a search bar in html<\/a> at pagedart, which is awesome <\/em><\/strong>and includes the javascript<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Why is this so hard, the more I read, the harder it seems to do while avoiding javascript, or in the case of wordpress, PHP. Maybe I should search the rss or rdf, or use google search reusing the code in pagedart’s page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    The LRD home pag<\/a>e has a custom search box. The LRD<\/a> has a search box that runs a google query, I have posted the code to github. I changed the code to point a google search at an iframe using the form target attribute<\/a>, this fails in Firefox<\/a>, for security reasons. The code is in search-page-2.htm<\/a>. Running a search through my sites might not have this problem, but it is a feature and implemented by both the server site, in this case google and firefox.<\/p>\n

    The Beginner’s guide to wordpress rest api<\/a>\u00a0has a series of examples, although they all involve code, JS or PHP. LRD Publications<\/a> looks like they specify the action as a separate php page.<\/p>\n

    ooOOOoo<\/p>\n

    There’s loads of Youtube Videos about making the search box pretty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
