<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi" method="GET">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="db" value="default">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="uid" value="default">
<input type=hidden name="view_records" value=1>
<INPUT TYPE="text" name="keywords" size="30"> &nbsp;
<INPUT TYPE="submit" name="view_records" value="Search"></FORM></CENTER>

Change the FORM ACTION = to match the URL and filename of your .cgi file
Change the name="db" value="default" to the name of your database filename

The FAQ has other examples under the section for "Searching"
