Hi! This is the case: Our Main web uses Nat skin. The Main web frontpage have default a search form similar to the TWiki web frontpage (WebSearch). The Main web has also a search form belonging to the NatSkin in the upper right corner. I am a little bit confused about these two different search forms, as they generate different layout of the search results. I have found that the Search form in the upper right corner (natSearch) uses the search.nat.tmpl. But what template does the default WebSearch use? In the end I want to have the one layout of the search results, not two (depending on where you started the search).

Alternatively, how can I customize the NatSkin search (or template), to execute the default WebSearch script.

Discussion and Answer

One comment to my question: One of the problems I have with NatSearch, is how to enable the sidebar in the search results. I found in the body.nat.tmpl a conditional include . If I remove the conditional and just include the "layout_sidebar_left", the sidebar appear as I want to. However, I can't find any information about the context="natskin_sidebar_left" and, why it's not "set" for search results. The sidebar is OK for all other NatSkin pages. Does anyone have an idea about the what's going on?
