Export exposed fields into a block with Views

Question

I'm trying to create a search box from the exposed fields from a view. Is that possible? If I add a block display I also get the results.. I want only the fields, not both.

I also tried embedding a view with exposed filters inside a node, however, when I click "search" I'm not redirected to the view (the url is not constructed correctly: instead of website.com/view?exposed_field=test I get website.com/?exposed_field=test).

Any help is appreciated. Thank you

This functionality is now built into Views itself. See How To Display Views' Exposed Filter In A Block And Theme It for details.
