Recently I add a "meta search box" in the "wrapper.tpl" so as to enable my site to handle two types of search: "directory searching" (using WSNLink) and "meta searching" (using meta search script). The meta search script are in a separate folder (wsnlink/search). When implementing it, I encounter some serious problem:
(a) When querying from WSNLink search box, WSNLink script will query the "meta search script" and not querying the wsnlink/search.php
(b) All php files in WSNLink with a form are disfunctioned. All "send" function (for eg. in add category, edit category, etc) will query the "metasearch script" and not the WSNLink script.
The following is the sample "meta search" query code:

When you never close a form tag, every subsequent form is considered part of your original form until finally some later form has a closing tag.
