  </fieldset>
</form>
[[+resultsWindow]]

Available Placeholders¶

Name	Description

method	Whether to submit over GET or POST. Defaults to GET.
searchValue	The default or current search value.

The searchForm chunk should contain:

a hidden input field named asId: <input type="hidden" name="asId" value="[[+asId]]"> for the form instance
a hidden input field named id: <input type="hidden" name="id" value="[[+landing]]"> with the landing page id

and possibly:

an input text field: <input type="text" id="[[+asId]]_search" name="[[+searchIndex]]" value="[[+searchValue]]" /> For a form without a search input field, simply remove this line from the form.
the help link: [[+helpLink]] To hide the help link use the &help parameter to remove the placeholder altogether.
