Page creation with Aikau

Servus folks,I appreaciate some help about an Aikau customization to solve my first example with this framework. I'm trying to create a new page (by using Aikau) that does a simple search and return the result. In addition, I want to invoke the page (the webscript) already with some parameter.1) How

Ok, I figured out that the existing "alfresco/header/SearchBox" widget does already 90% of my desired ideas. Unfortunately, as already statet in the module path it only seems to be working in a header or at least if the header is present? Nothing happens after hitting enter or choosing a result of the live search if I run it just as "dynamic page". It works only if I run it as "hybrid dynamic page". But this comes up with the full Share menu overhead that I dont need.
Is there a change to get it working if I call it via
http://localhost:8080/share/page/dp/ws/myModuleWebscript?id=1234&like=donuts
instead
http://localhost:8080/share/page/hdp/ws/myModuleWebscript?id=1234&like=donuts

Any ideas? Even still for my question with the resquest parameter?

Thanks.

You should be able to use the alfresco/header/SearchBox outside of the header if you want to. We've also made a number of updates in recent versions of Aikau to make this widget much more customizable. What version of Aikau are you using? Were you aware that you could use newer versions easily from 5.0.1 onwards (see http://blogs.alfresco.com/wp/developer/2015/03/24/why-alfresco-5-0-d-will-be-a-game-changer-for-ui-development/). You might also want to take a look at some of the recent work we've done on search in general in making the AlfSearchList more customizable and to work without browser URL hashing and regular pagination.

Also, if you haven't already you should take the time to work through the tutorial on GitHub which covers a lot of the basics: https://github.com/Alfresco/Aikau/blob/master/tutorial/chapters/Contents.md
