When I tried to put two search boxes on the page with the same ID I got this error from SharePoint : "An error occurred during the processing of . The ID 'searchbox2' is already used by another control." This is the code I use that is working: [sourcecode] <div id="searchLayout"> <SPSWC:SearchBoxEx id="searchbox2" RegisterStyles="false" TextBeforeTextBox="" TextBoxWidth="150" GoImageUrl="images/button.gif" GoImageActiveUrl="" GoImageUrlRTL="" GoImageActiveUrlRTL="" UseSiteDefaults="true" DropDownMode="HideScopeDD" SuppressWebPartChrome="true" runat="server" WebPart="true" __WebPartId="{0043945F-2D2B-4A02-8510-CED13B6F04DF}"/> </div> [/sourcecode] @Karen the code got stripped out of you comment but I think the ID could be causing the problem.

I have added the following code to my asp: <a href="SD06736D6_Submit()" rel="nofollow"> GO</a> This has positioned the search box where I want it and it looks fine, however when I click "Go" nothing happens. I also have a custom small search box on my navigation bar, I'm using the exact same id for this one. Do you think this is the problem? Do I need different ID's for each search box on the page? Hi,

I am trying to add a small custom search box to a page I’m working on. I have added the following code to my asp:


GO

This has positioned the search box where I want it and it looks fine, however when I click “Go” nothing happens. I also have a custom small search box on my navigation bar, I’m using the exact same id for this one. Do you think this is the problem? Do I need different ID’s for each search box on the page?

This post will explain how to setup the list and edit the JavaScript to read the suggestions from a list. The idea is that an administrator could manage the list and help guide users toward specific information instead of getting numerous un-related results like in those commercials for bing.
