! I find one of the biggest pains in writing a new DQSD search is finding and
  massaging the correct HTML FORM into well-formed XML.  I finally got annoyed enough 
to
  write a little utility to do some of the work for me.
! </p>
! 
! <p>
! I call it <b>Dave's Quick Search Deskbar Search Wizard</b>.

! <h3>What does it do?</h3>
! 
! <p>
! In a nutshell, it creates a DQSD search from the page currently displayed in your 
browser.
! </p>
! 
! <p>
! One of the first things you typically do when creating a new search is to view the 
source for the page containing the FORM INPUT elements.&nbsp;&nbsp;It's 
tedious.&nbsp;&nbsp;It's hard to find the right FORM when there are multiple FORMs in 
the page.&nbsp;&nbsp;It's error-prone because I have to convert the HTML to 
well-formed XML (and I always forget to close the INPUT elements with "/>").
! </p>
! 
! <h3>How do I use it?</h3>
! 
! <p>
! <ol>
! <li>Go to the web page with the search.</li>
! <li>Click in the field you want to be receive the search string.</li>
! <li>Start up the wizard by clicking on its Internet Explorer toolbar button:<br/>
! <center>
! <img src="wizard_toolbar.jpg">
  </center>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ You should see a dialog that looks something like the following.&nbsp;&nbsp;Enter a 
+name and a title.&nbsp;&nbsp;(The name is the string that will invoke the search and 
+will be used name the file, so keep it short and simple.)<br/>
+ <center><img src="dqsdsearchwiz.jpg" align="top"></center>
+ </li>
+ <li>Hit OK and you'll be prompted to save the search file to your DQSD 'searches' 
+directory.</li>
+ </ol>
+ </p>
+ 
+ <h3>Example</h3>
+ 
+ <p>
+ In the screenshot above, I went to <a 
+href="http://www.msnbc.com";>http://www.msnbc.com</a>, clicked in the search field to 
+make it 'active'...<br/>
+ <center><img src="msnbc.jpg"></center>
+ Then I invoked the wizard, entered 'msnbc' for the name, and 'MSNBC News' for the 
+title (the title is what appears in the menu and help).&nbsp;&nbsp;All the FORM 
+elements in the page are listed, with the one checked that contains the 'active' 
+element.
