JS: jQuery Sharepoint search replacement

search_sharepoint.html

/**********************************************************************
OOTB Search control looks something like this:

	<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderSearchArea" runat="server">
		<SharePoint:DelegateControl runat="server" ControlId="SmallSearchInputBox" Version="4"/>
	</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>



We can replace it with either static inputs:

	<div id="siteSearch" class="s4-notdlg noindex">
		<select id="searchScope" class="ms-sbscopes">
			<option selected="selected">Scope 1</option>
			<option>Scope 2</option>
			<option>Scope 3</option>
		</select>
		<input id="searchBox" type="text">
		<a id="searchGo" href="#">Search</a>
	</div>


Or you could grab the scopes dynamically with a SOAP service like GetPortalSearchInfo
https://github.com/Sinetheta/JS--SharePoint-web-services/blob/master/search/GetPortalSearchInfo.js


You will still need to include the "dud" search control somewhere in your master page though:
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderSearchArea" runat="server"/>
