Hans,

I want to let you know that I will collect together all the help
you give me and put it into a pmwiki page.  That will help document
these things for future authors who will use it.

Yes, I wanted to move it to a different location so I read the
help pages about it and found that you can use display a searchbox
anywhere using (:searchbox:) and that you can hide the original by
setting $EnableSidebarSearchbox = 0;   Is there is a better way
to do this?

Excellent!  A small point though, I set "focus=true".  This searchbox
could/should be a recipe itself!  If you do not make this a recipe,
perhaps I will (and give you credit of course).  It could modify the
original searchbox to do the focus thing.  I do have a long long long
todo list and it might take me some time.




Thanks



John
