Searches: How would I...?
On the search results page, it shows down at the bottom:

Try your search on other Search Engines
Alta Vista - HotBot - Infoseek - Deja News - Lycos - Yahoo

========================
Now, these, when you click on them, not only go to the search engine listed, but they also automatically look up the search term in question! That's neat.

I was wondering, since I have a ..er, rather specialized-interest Directory, if it would be possible to do that with other special-interest directories such as AvatarSearch (http://www.avatarsearch.com) or Pathway to Darkness (http://www.pathwaytodarkness.com) and the like, instead of the more mainstream searche engines and directories?

If so, how would I go about doing this? Please, someone get back woith me on this -- I positively cannot sleep because I think it's an excellent idea and I must know how!

I must! -- I must! -- I must!

delete avatar and type <%terms%>
