    Hi All,

    I’ve got kind of a strange situation—I’m working on integrating EE into an existing site, and I’m having some issues with search.

    Right now, the site is coded in Java, and we’re trying to use EE to power the static sections, so we can easily manage the content.  The first section we’re going to create is our help section: http://mysite.com/help.  Since the core site is in Java, we can’t just install EE into the root of the server, so we proxy all calls to /help to a PHP server.  This is working fine so far, but I’ve encountered issues with search.  Search POSTs to the index.php file, but it doesn’t exist on http://mysite.com/, since the site is powered in Java (except for the proxied /help section).  Is there a way to change how the search form works, so that it posts to /help/search, or something like that?

    Any help would be appreciated, and let me know if any clarification of what I said above is needed—it’s pretty confusing :\.

    Thanks!
