Does anyone know how to insert a variable in altavista.cgi script. The way it is set up now is that search_failure routine is set to redirected the search to altavista.cgi for a $term. How do I also port out another variable in Links like $category_name? Where do I have to insert code in search.cgi and altavista.cgi to get the variable in altavista.cgi.

The desired result is for it to print out:

Your search returned 0 results in "$category_name" for "$term".

MetaSearch returned "$total" web pages for search "$term".

Thanks in advance,
elms

RA_Design,

There most certainly is a link to it. Try looking at http://www.gossamer-threads.com/scripts/resources/ which is listed on the Links Home Page. Look under other scripts.

Altavista.cgi can be found at http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...s/misc/altavista.cgi

But what about the variables in altavista.cgi?
