Also need help with this… ideas??

I would love to setup wordpress to use the stock wordpress search widget but not only from one of my wordpress installs but across a few or MANY of my wordpress installs

I would love something simple like this… any luck so far?

This would be a awesome feature, Maybe a plugin?

Worked for me, I removed (commented out) the function twentyten_widgets_init() {
// Area 1, located at the top of the sidebar.
register_sidebar( array( ……etc

in my parent themes functions.php .. unfortunately the only clean way I was able to get WP to not call both functions.php widgets functions.

Has anyone figured this out yet? I am having the same problem.

Only thing I can think to do is remove the sidebars code entirely from the parents functions.php found at:

function twentyten_widgets_init() {
	// Area 1, located at the top of the sidebar.
	register_sidebar( array(

Although this defeats the purpose of child themes and NOT needing to modify your parent theme. It seems like a simple mod post upgrade though.
