MODx Search
A lightweight Search snippet for MODx

This snippet is intended to search for terms sent from a HTML form. An example is below, which you are free to use. It should be included in either your template(s), or a chunk for inclusion in a variety of templates. Note that you will have to change the two instances of <docid> to the document id of the search results page on your site.

Note that the search form is just a HTML form. No snippet call is required to generate a form. The snippet call appears only on the results page template.

Because a snippet call is not used to generate the form, the form can be modified without any more knowledge than that of knowing HTML.

Suggested search form

Note that I use "get" rather than "post" so that if someone bookmarks the search results the search terms will be bookmarked (post parameters do not appear in URLs).

<div id="nav-search">
	<form action="[~<docid>~]" method="get">
		<div>
			<label for="searchTerms">Search Terms</label>
			<input id="searchTerms" name="searchTerms" type="text" />
			<input type="hidden" name="id" value="<docid>" /> 
			<input class="button" id="search" name="search" value="Search" type="submit" />
		</div>
	</form>
</div>

Note that the hidden input is only required for unfriendly URLs, but its presence will not break friendly URLs.
