Using third-party search engine with CI site

[eluser]ebcms[/eluser]
We're developing our first CI application and having some trouble integrating our third-party search engine with the CI MVC framework.

We're using Zoom Search, a tool we've used successfully on other asp and php sites. The search form is working fine and the results are excellent but the tool outputs its results to a page, search.php, that is outside CI.

The problem we're having is in formatting/displaying the search results through CI so that our header, navigation, and footer views will display properly.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to properly integrate third-party tools like this within a CI site/application framework? Is it possible?

Thanks in advance.
