incluing options in the search form
Hi
Would anyone have a clue how I would include another search engine in my search form. Because I don't have many links in my database I am wanting to add a drop down menu option in the form allowing my visitors the choice of searching my site or the other search engine I'm listing. I spent some time searching the forum but because I'm not quite sure what I'm searching for everything return "no results".

Thanks in advance.
Janx

You need a separate cgi program that will pass the search variables to the appropriate engine.

The best solution I have found, and the one I use, is Anaconda Director...

Hope that helps.

Hi Eraser
Thanks for the tip... I did download the cgi and looked at it but really don't have a clue on how to set it up. The search I'm trying to add has a hidden imput with my affiliate number and the Anaconda Director script doesn't seem to have a place to put this. Would you per chance be interested in setting this up for me for a fee. Let me know.

Thanks Again
Janx
