2 sites one search
ok this may be thought of as a duplicate post by some but I put it on the discussion board but I really think it needs to be here

my original post said

I just installed links 2 on DH site my site has all the links is there a mod or is there a way that I can get the search on his site to actually search my site but to display the results on his search results page. Without just uploading all my links to his site?


perlflunkie answered me with this

Change the form action. Here is the original:

<form action="<%db_cgi_url%>/search.cgi" method="GET">

Change the <%db_cgi_url%> to point to the site you want to search, without the <> brackets, as Links uses those so it knows to change that to the site address.

then I answered him with

Yea that's what I thought at first too but this causes the person to go the site being searched for the results to display. I need the person to stay at his site with the results on his results page




Anymore ideas from any of you bright people out there ?

Couple suggestions:

1) Use a top frame for his website that will "keep" people in the site.

2) Code an XML RSS feed that will put results from the other website within his result page. Try searching for the LINKS 2.0 forums for XML RSS, I believe that someone coded something like this in the past.
