Hello
Regarding question 1. I solved it by using a get querystring on the second page (search) like:
$frontpagesearch = sanitize_text_field( $_GET[‘frontpagesearch’] );
And with JavaScript ad it to the search bar on the search page (second page).
I will try to do something similar with question no 2.
Still curious to here what you have to say about my original question though.
