This is one of my pet projects, which is currently less than half done. It's not simple, because a lot of the searches do more than simply GET or POST forms - they create objects like MSXML and RegEx that strict browsers will not allow. There's also the security risk - some of the searches let you run vbscript or javascript and doing so poses the question to whether to push that type of thing to the client, or to the server, and if the server, how do you sanitize an environment where it is intended to provide the ability to execute random input? I haven't had much time to devote to the project over the last few months, but intend to finish it eventually. :) Regards, Shawn K.
