[DQSD-Devel] search

[John W. Bairen, Jr.]

Hey guys.  I started to write a search for www.iisfaq.com but I am having
trouble getting it to submit the form.  Attached is the xml file.  It has
been too long since I've written a search.  Can anyone help finish this one
up, please?





Thanks,
JB

    Even though this XML search will probably load and is a good start
    toward a completed search, please be aware that this search will probably
    not work as is and will probably require some changes.
