Search form customization

The searchForm chunk should contain:

  • an action: action="[[~[[+landing]]]]"
  • a method: method="[[+method]]"
  • a hidden input field named asId: <input type="hidden" name="asId" value="[[+asId]]"> for the form instance
  • a hidden input field named id: <input type="hidden" name="id" value="[[+landing]]"> with the landing page id
  • a submit input field named "sub".

and possibly:

  • an input text field: <input type="text" id="[[+asId]]_search" name="[[+searchIndex]]" value="[[+searchValue]]" /> For a form without a search input field, simply remove this line from the form.
  • the help link: [[+helpLink]] To hide the help link use the &help parameter to remove the placeholder altogether.
