SID-01313: Direct search results to another topic

I am trying to create a search forms where the results are displayed in another topic.

The code below contains a form which imbeds the search results in the current topic and this works fine.

However I have created a blank topic called TsdAll and I need the search results to be displayed there instead of the current topic.

 <form action="%SCRIPTURLPATH{"view"}%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%">
 <input type="hidden" name="q" size="32" value="FAQ" /> 
<input type="submit" class="twikiSubmit" value="Display all faqs in --> Here" /> 
</form> 
%SEARCH{ search="%URLPARAM{"q" encode="quote"}%" type="keyword" limit="2" scope="topic" nosearch="on" reverse="on" nototal="on" excludetopic="Web*, *Template, *All" header="| *Topic: * | *Summary: * | " format="| $topic | $summary |"}%

Discussion and Answer

Assuming the other topic is in the same web use this form action: action="%SCRIPTURLPATH{"view"}%/%WEB%/TsdAll".

Your TsdAll topic needs to have the SEARCH with the search="%URLPARAM{"q" encode="quote"}%" parameter. It can optionally have the form too.
