[support] Location Module

Anyone have any experience with the location module, or any other custom search modules? It works perfectly (well I'd like the option to limit a search to a specific content type so I can use it for 3 different types of content and have it return results only for the one i'm searching for). But it doesn't come with a module like the search module so that I can add a search box into a region. I know that I can't just create a form and drop it in a block because I need to have a form token - but that's about all I know.

Any pointers for what I do need to do to create this block?
