I've decided the special pages is the way to go and I'm making the templates etc. right now. I'm thinking I want to call the display of the search in the template or component to act as my nav for the section. I have used search results displayed with a thumb on another site and I liked the look but the call for the results was on the page, not in a template or in a component.
You can see the section taking shape here if you care to take a look. I haven't gotten to any formatting/css yet. Just assembling the functionality, fields and layout of things.
http://medbake.com/groceries/ main jump page for the section
Special page test http://medbake.com/groceries/oils-1
Currently I have regular pages attached to the parent and I'm calling them with the sidebar, but can I pop the call into a component? (% searchresults tags="_special_grocery" order="menuOrder" %) or do I need to add php tags?
<?php ?> If I can, what would the proper syntax be to call search results in the component? Or would it be better to put the call in the template? I am not a programmer so I just search through and try to find examples and follow instructions.
Thank you both for your suggestions!
EDIT:
I've moved this question to the Search Plugin thread

I do have the search results displaying, just need to style it now.
