Is it possible to make a search with a text link <a href="">Search</a> and what must you change to make it work?
Thanks,
Edwin

Edwin,
Sure, you can code a link to your search engine. If you want to bring up the search page, you can just put the URL of your search engine as the HREF value (i.e. http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/se/exec/search.cgi).
If you want to bring up some search results, just put your keywords into the link as a "query" value. So your code might look like this:
<a href="http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/se/exec/search.cgi?search=Tomato">Search</a>
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hello Theo,
thanks for your reply but It didn't answer my question.
The search form has standard a button I would like to use a text link/button to make a search.
Thanks,
Edwin

Edwin,
Sorry for the misunderstanding! 
This is a bit non-standard, and will require a bit of javascript. Tara helped me find the following tutorial:

Let me know if you need any further assistance.
