Web Help Help

Now that I've successfully got Orbeon working with Tamino, I'm stuck
trying to start my original task.

I am creating a web help.  The whole thing is almost finished.  It's got
an expandable collapsible tree TOC which is an XSLT file with some
Javascript. The TOC XSLT file is stored in Tamino and is accessed by a
URL like this:
http://taminoserver/tamino/mydb/mycollection?_xql//tamino/mydb/mycollect
ion/xsl:stylesheet/toc.xslt=//Book[//@ID="IDD80

When clicking on this link you get a page with the TOC populated by a
certain books Chapter and Topic titles / links and a Search text box
above it.  I was hoping to just integrate some Orbeon Xforms XSLT within
the TOC XSLT.  I am stuck on how to get this started despite spending a
good amount of time searching this mailing list.

What I'm thinking is I would like this Search form to take the value
entered in the text box, put it in a separate XML file (searchdata.xml)
stored on Tamino.
 I would like this to happen right after the user enters the search
term, before the submit button would be pressed. When clicking on the
submit button of the search form I'd like two things to happen:

1) The searchdata.xml file will be populated with data from the
original Xquery result (i.e. =//Book[//@ID="IDD80] from upper URL
example).
2) A new search results page (another XSLT file residing in Tamino)
will show up, pulling data from the searchdata.xml file.

I wanted to make the searchdata.xml file hold the book info and the
search term so the search results page will know what files in Tamino to
look through
(all of the files attached to the book) and which files need to show up
in the results page based on the condition of the search term showing up
in the content.

I am hoping to avoid having to rebuild the whole web help in Xform type
code, like the TOC or the styled Topic content.  But I don't even know
how to approach embedding an Xform in existing XSLT stored in Tamino.
Can this even be done or should I use another strategy?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
