Thanks Eliot, part of it - I am not allowed to make SSI-calls for my IP.

I'll list my questions again, since there seems to be a misunderstanding:

Question 1 was about having Keyword search COMPLETING the other search-fields, not overriding them. Is it possible to make them work together, not against eachother?

The second question was NOT about having a search-form in HTML (I can manage that), but having an output in HTML (without SSI). I have an idea of letting others search my database from outside, (which wouldn't allow SSi-calls anyway), but I want them to have their own layout in a HTML-document taylored after their own needs...

Question three was well answered but entirely wrong put!

Here it is:

3 - It is said that $rec{'anything'} does transport the anything search-data from form to form.
But so does $in{'keyword'}.

Is that on purpose (in other words, should that be so?).
