Remote Search - please help
A partner site of mine would like to display my search results.

1. I have installed the XML plugin for LinksSQL and tried to call search.cgi with a hidden tag:

<input type="hidden" name="xml_feed" value="1">

More than 50% of all queries return the following error:

Code:
Whitespace is not allowed at this location. Error processing resource.


Other users have reported this error, but obviously no solution has been found yet. Also, a high percentage of valid queries just returns the search template without search results (I have not altered the xml template).

2. Another solution is to use the remote_search.cgi script Alex has posted in this thread:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...orum.cgi?post=199494

Running the script I receive the following error message:

Code:
Missing right curly or square bracket at www/cgi-bin/remote_search.cgi line 84, at end of line
syntax error at www/cgi-bin/remote_search.cgi line 84, at EOF www/cgi-bin/remote_search.cgi had compilation errors.


Ok, after adding the curly bracket I get the msg:

Code:
Bareword "r" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at www/cgi-bin/remote_search.cgi line 84.


Does anyone have a working version of the script?

3. How to deal with queries that do not return any matching records?

Any help is highly appreciated!
