Option to use quicksearch on another database.

[Don Chambers]

Let's say I have 2 s9y sites. Would it be possible to have the option (perhaps a radio button, like on a google search) that allows a visitor to search the current site, or my other s9y site (or perhaps both)????? Afterall, I have all the database credentials of both sites (user, password, table prefix, etc)????

Hi!

This could be done with a custom plugin, yes. But I doubt it will be generally useful for many users.

You could use a html nugget with a radio button and some javascript that changes the form.action to the other s9y site and jump to that, if you hit submit?

Would changing the form target work? There's no session on the second site.

I was about to completely agree with Garvin that this is not generally useful. Then I got to thinking about webrings, and link exchanges... this could be a social networking sort of tool. "Search this site" "Search all sites in the *** family of sites".

Just thinkin' out loud.

Exactly the scenario I had in mind!
