Put a Search Box on Every Page in Miva 5.5

Putting a search box on every page of your store can help potential customers locate items more quickly. It saves a step (visitors won't have to click on the Search button) and prompts the visitors to look for something they may want.

The form code used for your Miva Merchant store's search box can be extracted right from your store's search screen. Viewing the source code of the store page will give you the core code, which you can adjust to suit your needs.

Here's an example of the code used to display a search box throughout and entire Web site. We've also made the search button a call to a graphic.

<FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="Store_Code" VALUE="ENTERSTORECODEHERE">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="Screen" VALUE="SRCH">

<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="Search" SIZE="10" VALUE="">

<INPUT TYPE = "image" ALT = "click to search" SRC = "graphics/00000001/search.gif" BORDER = "0">

</FORM>
