I have followed http://doc.silverstripe.org/recipes:dataobjectsearch

and while this works on my page of type "house" which holds and displays the results

For Example
I go to this page and "all houses" are listed and you can submit the form to filter.

Question: What would i need to do to have 'Only" the form on any givenpage.

For example I made the form appear on my homepage.ss by including $HouseSearchForm great

but the form submits to home/HouseSearchForm and doesn't show any results.

Note: On the homepage i don't want a default listing of houses to appear. I just want the form and when its submitted it would go to a result page

should i be altering the doserach() fuction

return new Form($this, 'HouseSearchForm', $fields, $actions);

I had to sort out a very similar problem this afternoon.
You should look at the 'setFormAction' method on the Form class.
Worked a treat for me.
