I've read this thread:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/scripts/forum/resources/Forum3/HTML/003832.html
and can't seem to follow it. Would anyone mind giving detailed instructions as how to get the altavista.cgi script working. I do not necessarily need to have it in the search.cgi script, I would just like to direct a keyword that is not found in my database to the altavista script.....very much like Eliot's is setup. I know it is very simple to do, however I am having problems just running the altavista.cgi script. I grabbed the script from the resource center under other scripts......maybe that is an outdated version? Also, what is the purpose of placing the altavista coding within the search.cgi script? How is that different from just redirecting the script if no keyword is found? Thanks for any and all replies.
