4.1 Creating search form

The most common way of implementing site search engines is to place an easy search form into the main page (text field for search terms and search button) and to create separate page with advanced search options. You can use textarea for editing HTML code of your search form. If you are not familiar with HTML, you can use our sample code. You can modify the code as you wish, but don't change name attributes (search, boolean, case, word and max)! Be sure to enter correct path to your search script - action attribute in <FORM> tag. It is /cgi-bin/APBSearch/search.cgi if you run setup.cgi script from /cgi-bin/APBSearch/ directory. You can display the search form by clicking on Preview link. When ready, copy and paste the HTML code into your web page.
