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?

thanks
