In Customer Portal, my search component defaults to search a particular object, based on the most recent search.

enter image description here

What should I do, so that every Customer Portal page should have this component to Search All objects, irrespective of the most recent object searched?

Barney, are you using the standard portal functionality or Visualforce? – Wes Nolte Feb 26 at 12:18
@WesNolte, I am using standard Customer Portal with the standard home page search component. It looks customized in the screenshot because I have introduced a CSS in Header. I would say that my requirement is not possible out-of-the-box, and if possible anyhow, may require dirty JavaScripting in Header. – Suman Krishna Saha Feb 26 at 17:47

This requirement is not possible OOTB.

(If possible anyhow, may require introducing dirty JavaScript in the Customer Portal Header HTML. Such hacks are dirty because it involves tinkering around with HTML elements using JavaScript, by their HTML IDs. Since the HTML IDs are not documented by Salesforce, they can change the ID names in any release without informing the public, thereafter rendering the hack as broken. Hence, these dirty hacks are not future-proof.)
