One of biggest pains when writing a new DQSD search is massaging the correct HTML
FORM into well-formed XML. I finally got annoyed enough to

! If you have no desire to ever write a search for DQSD, then don't read any
further. If you do write searches from time to time, or at least want to,
then you may find the DQSD Search Wizard useful. At least I do.
</p>
<p>
! One of the first things I typically do when creating a new search is to view the
source for the page containing the FORM INPUT elements. It's
tedious. It's hard to find the right FORM when there are multiple FORMs in
the page. 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 "/>").

! One of the first things I typically do when creating a new search is to view the
source for the page, and strip out everything but the FORM for the
search. But, it's tedious. And, it's hard to find the right FORM
when there are multiple FORMs in the page. Also, it's error-prone because I
have to convert the HTML to well-formed XML (and I always forget to close the INPUT
