Search form on another site?
I would like to be able to add search forms to my busy websites so I will be able to promote my new search engine. Could anyone tell me how this can be done? I am having troubles passing the search terms to the search.cgi script when a search is done from another site.

Two suggestions:

1) Use the Affiliates Search Mod in the Resource Center.

2) Look at the following example:

Disregard the following codes:

<input type="hidden" name="format" value="full">

Good luck!

Ahh, I assumed that maybe something special had to be done, then I had another look at my test form and realized that I never had the right name on the text field. Duh, no wonder the search term wasn't getting passed. I must be overworked or something... =P
