Can anyone suggest a creative and practical solution to this?

I initially set up my search results template to deliver results in a certain format - really only designed for them to be retrieved remotely from other sites. That has been running for a while and makes it impossible to now change that format.

I would really now like to show search results within the site, but in a different format. How can I have 2 sets of search results?
I added the "practical" qualifier because I looked at doing this with an additional template set, but it looked like I would have to maintain a complete duplicate set of templates even though only 1 or 2 are need for this solution.

Any other creative suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi,

How about passing a variable in?

i.e

search.cgi?remote=1;query=foo%20bar

..and for a normal search

search.cgi?query=foo%20bar

....and then in search_results.html, you could wrap some <%if ..%> tags around;


Hope that helps.

Cheers
