More than one search results page template

On my current project, I have to create 2, distinct templates to receive 2 distinct search results of the same site.

Both researches are coming from different forms on different templates/pages.

Thing is, there is only one search.php file in WordPress, and I don’t think it’s possible to create another one. (like search-taxonomy.php)

Is there a way to separate one search result of the other, and to then display the correct search page template in relation to which search form has been filled?

  1. You could make a page template http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates

    And then you could post some data via $_GET /search2/?search=xxx to that page and do a custom wp_query where you use ‘s=’ . $_GET[‘search’]
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

    Something like this:

    $args = array(
   's' => $_GET['search']
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

// The Loop
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();
    echo '<li>';
    the_title();
    echo '</li>';
endwhile;
