The searchbox code apparently stores the search string in $:/temp/search.
I figured out the first part of my question, how to use the string entered
from a search box as the search string.
<$set name="search-string" value={{$:/temp/search}}>
I would like to be able to use define the value of $:/temp/search with
$set. Maybe something like:
<$set name="$:/temp/search" value="x">?
Thanks
Steve Wharton
