Thread: Moving search box out of header

Moving search box out of header

I've been trying to pop the search bar into the middle of the homepage, as the search is really important to my site.
Here's the site: http://www.experiencey.com/

It works fine, (ignore the styling, I'll fix that later) except the location doesn't track.
For example, search 'llama' in 'Leeds, Uk' in the header and it shows 1 listing
Search in my moved search box and it shows 2 listing because there's no location data. The URL content is identical to the other search except for "l&st=listing&lat=&lng=" at the end,

Is there a simple answer to fix this or is it a complicated customisation job for me to outsource?

thanks a lot
John
