You can do all of the above with a some basic HTML and Javascript.   
For the search hot spots - the links or other dom elements you want to  
click to execute searches - simply assign onclick listeners that will  
execute the appropriate query.  For the custom form, you have only to  
code the form you want in html (or Javascript) and add an onsubmit  
listener which will initiate the search.  If you don't know how to do  
any of these things, I would recommend searching Google for some  
tutorials and reference material.  It shouldn't be too difficult to  
learn what you need.
