I followed the search build from wikibooks.org. It works, but not from the correct node. My directory setup is Contents(Root), Frontpage(level 1),Pages(level 2),Subpages(level 3).

Problem 1:
The search is placed on level 2 (which also is the navigation level 1). But when I search I only get content from the layer below (level 3). I want content in the search from level 1 and down. How do I do that?
When I place the search macro in my search template I get to choose start node for the search. But this seems to be ignored since only results from level 3 is shown eventhough I choose level 1.

Problem 2:
I have placed an input form on the Frontpage(level 1) linking to the search.aspx results file. But nothing whatsoever happens when I use this search. Only when I open the searchresults page from the navigation can I use the search function in the frontpage. Is this an issue with with Load_child_nodes function?
