   Hello,

   I would like to add a search box to the home page of a SharePoint site (in the page content) that is limited only to a certain SharePoint List. How can I do this?

   Thanks

   I created a web part for our users to use. I took this code and replaced the Sharepoint search control with my code. This could be modified to point to the specific list they need to choose from.

   <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
   <!--
   function Search()
   {
   if (document.getElementById('Google').checked)
   window.open("http://www.google.com/search?q=" + document.getElementById('Search').value);
   else window.open("http://google.ourdomain.com/search?site=default_collection&client=us_frontend&output=xml_no_dtd&proxystylesheet=us_frontend&q=" + document.getElementById('Search').value);
   }
   // -->
   </SCRIPT>
   
   <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center"><tr>
   <td class="ms-sbcell">

   <INPUT TYPE ="Text" NAME="Search" class="ms-sbplain" alt="Enter search words" SIZE ="40" />
   </td>
   <td class="ms-sbgo ms-sbcell">
   <img title="Go Search" onmouseover="this.src='/_layouts/images/gosearch.gif'" onmouseout="this.src='/_layouts/images/gosearch.gif'" alt="Go Search" src="/_layouts/images/gosearch.gif" style="border-width:0px;" />
   </tr>
   <tr></tr>
   <tr>
   <td class="ms-sbcell">
   <label>
   <input name="radio" type="radio" id="Google" value="Google" checked="checked" />
   Google Search</label>
   <label>
   <input id="Our Google" type="radio" name="radio" value="US" />
   ECU Search</label>
   </td>

   </table>

   Or, in the SSP, you could create a new scope that consists of just that one list.
   Then, you could use that scope in your search box.

   Laura,

   I have created the scope, how can I make a search box that defaults to that scope? I need to add a search box in a way that doesn't require my users to think...

   Thanks,

   John

   I ended up taking Eric's suggestion, but modified it a bit. I created a scope and had the JavaScript redirect the page to that:

   <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="left"><tr>
   <td class="ms-sbcell">
   <input type="Text" name="SearchBox" class="ms-sbplain" alt="Enter search words" SIZE ="40">
   </td>
   <td class="ms-sbgo ms-sbcell">
   <input type="image" src="/_layouts/images/gosearch.gif" name="SubmitSearch" onclick="parent.location.replace('/searchcenter/Pages/Results.aspx?s=SCOPENAME&k=' + document.getElementById('SearchBox').value)" >
   </tr>
   </table>

   Ok, now I am having a heck of a time with this in FireFox.

   This code works perfect in IE, however in FF it hangs and says please wait while the scripts load:

   <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="left"><tr>
   <td class="ms-sbcell">
   <input type="Text" name="SearchBox" class="ms-sbplain" alt="Enter search words" SIZE ="40">
   </td>
   <td class="ms-sbgo ms-sbcell">

   
   <img title="Go Search" onmouseover="this.src='/_layouts/images/gosearch.gif'" onmouseout="this.src='/_layouts/images/gosearch.gif'" alt="Go Search" src="/_layouts/images/gosearch.gif" style="border-width:0px;">

   </tr>
   </table>

   Any ideas?

   In Site Settings, Site collection admin settings section:
   Click "Search Scopes"
   Click the link that says "Search Dropdown"
   This will let you change the order and the default scope.

   Laura,

   The default site scopes apply to the whole site collection, not just one particular site (which is what I need).

   I did finally figure out a working solution:

   <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 align=left>
   <TBODY>
   <TR>
   <TD class=ms-sbcell><INPUT class=ms-sbplain id=SearchBox alt="Enter search words" size=40 name=SearchBox> </TD>
   <TD class="ms-sbgo ms-sbcell"><'A id=SubmitSearch title="Go Search" href="javascript:window.location.replace('https://ubs.sharepoint.asu.edu/searchcenter/Pages/Results.aspx?s=SunSET%20Search&k=' + encodeURI(document.getElementById('SearchBox').value));"><IMG onmouseover="this.src='/_layouts/images/gosearch.gif'" title="Go Search" style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" onmouseout="this.src='/_layouts/images/gosearch.gif'" alt="Go Search" src="https://ubs.sharepoint.asu.edu/_layouts/images/gosearch.gif"> </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
