Question

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I'm trying to figure how how to embed a search form that returns a formatted result. This is what I've tried

<form action="%SCRIPTURLPATH%/search%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/%WEB%/"><input type="hidden" name="format" value="   * $web.$topic $n      * $summary $n" />
Find Topics:  <input type="text" name="search" size="32" /> <input type="submit" value="Search" /> &nbsp;</form>

The search returns the result with the default formatting. Thanks in advance for any tips.

Answer

Although the answer appears to be at SearchScriptWithFormattedSearch I found that the $n in the above code did not create a 2 level list but appeared to be ignored.

The $n does produce a new line, look at the HTML source. The problem is that the search result does not seem to render the asterisks into bullets.

A better solution is to use a form and an embedded FormattedSearch on the same topic. You can link them together with an %URLPARAM{"..."}% variable. Example: (edit the topic to see how it works)
