Embed Lithium Search in Newsletter/External Page?

[JillianB]

I don't have the slightest clue if this can be done or how to go about it if it is, but has anyone tried embedding Lithium search in a newsletter or external page?

We just swapped newsletter vendors and we now have the ability to embed code. We were toying with the idea of letting respondents search directly from the newsletter by embedding a search box. Right now we just have an image of the search box that links directly to the search page, but any chance I can make this crazy dream a reality?

Not quite the same, but fitting to the title.

We would like to create an external web form to submit a ticket.

When the subject line is being entered, community suggestions should be displayed, just the same as on the community search. This is supposed to deflect requests to the community before they are submitted. 

Can the search dropdown scoping the full community be called through the API while typing?
