Hi, I've just tried that myself, and it does not seem to work, but I did find away around it.

Preview your catalog pages and copy the code found for the simplesearch...

<!-- SIMPLESEARCH HTML BEGIN -->
<table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 border=0 height="37" align="center">
<form name=simplesearch action="http://www.yoururl.co.uk/cgi-bin/ss000001.pl" METHOD="GET">
<tr valign="middle">
<td align="center" noWrap><input type="TEXT" name="SS" size="15" maxsize="125" value="product search" onFocus="this.value='';this.style.background='#FFFFFF'">
</td>
<td align="center" noWrap>
<input name="ACTION" type="image" id="ACTION" src="quicksearch.gif" width="yoursize" height="yoursize" border="0">
<input type=HIDDEN name="PR" value="-1"> <input type=HIDDEN name="TB" value="A">
<input type=HIDDEN name="SHOP" value=""></td></tr>
</form>
</table>
<!-- SIMPLESEARCH HTML END -->

!(you will need to change the URL and image sizes)!

...and paste it any where you like in Act_BrochurePrimary.html

I haven't got a working url for the site yet.

Don't think so it needs cgi.

I have page up on test site that shows it working:

http://www.goldcare.co.uk/acatalog/home.html

Hi Stubiewan
I checked out the site.
It seems to only search by product reference number.
Are you able to do key word searches too?

Sorry, we have just started work on this site: I'm working on the look and how the catalog will work while a colleague enters the 2000 are so products :( so untill I can get four products to show per row etc. there are only four products on the site.

Add to that the site owner only uses ref. numbers, no product names, there are no keywords to search for.

If it helps ya I'll add keywords: light, lamp, wall light.

The simple search tool will search on product refs, short descriptions, full descriptions and (optionally) extended info text.
