Can you call the search cgi from a html page?	Can't Post

I just started using the search engine and like it a lot. I did use a function of the atomz search that I would like to continue using. It allows calling the search from the html form and specifying the item you wanted found and then it just goes to the first page it finds the complete search on. I looked thru all the docs and posts and haven't seen any comment on that kind of use. Any help would be appreciated. I like the script a lot and it does work well on my site. Thanks

Thanks for the email. To add a search form to any of your pages just cut and paste the html code you see when you login to Search Engine and click the "Sample Search Forms' link.

You can choose to add either Basic Search, Category Search or a Advanced Search to any page you choose. Choose from the "View another Search Form" dropdown list and click go to view that search form. At the bottom of the page is the html that you can copy and paste into your webpages.

Here is an example of the HTML that could be added to a webpage:

<form method="GET" action="http://www.yoursite.com/exec/search.cgi">
<input type="text" name="search" value="" size="15">
<input type="submit" name="perform_search" value="Search">
<input type="hidden" name="skin" value="">
</form>

I hope that helps, please let me know if you have any other questions. :)
