Search form in two Regions?

Question

New to Drupal, trying to wrap my mind around the Blocks concept.

Am I right in concluding that I cannot have the SearchForm on the right side (sidebar second) for one ContentType, and on the left side (sidebar first) for another ContentType?

I'm talking standard 7(.17) with no extra modules or PHP "hacks".

Answer 1

Standard Drupal will only allow you to specify the placement of blocks once. To achieve what you're after you'll need to look into using a contributed module like Context or Panels.

Personally used Context a fair bit in the past. It's pretty powerful but relatively simple to use.

Answer 2

This module allows you to create several instances of a block, so you can duplicate a block and put the duplicates on other regions.
