We have a left column search box that calls a JavaScript from a remote server, and a right column main content frame which is intended to display the search results. When a search is done in the search box, the remote server targets the _top frameset, leaving one page with the search results and no frames. Our purpose in dividing it this way is to have a variety of search tools available to users (Amazon books, Expedia, Overture & Google, etc.).
An example of this is expedia.com's affiliate program where the affiliate links call a remote JavaScript script. It's in that remote script that the top frameset is called.

Since the URL is different with each search, I don't have any ideas about how to send the search results to the content frame (target="_main").

Set a base target on the page itself <BASE TARGET="target frame name" />, job done, nowt technical about it ;)
