Well, I just got a tip today on an excellent web authoring FAQ. Its section
on forms should help with your HTML coding questions:
http://www.htmlhelp.com/faq/html/forms.html
The added wrinkle is that you want one of the input parameters to select
which search engine CGI program to call. The only way I know of to do
that is with a wrapper script that gets the CGI parameters, looks at
the parameter defined by the radio buttons to see which engine to call,
and then converts the query string to the format and input parameter
name set used by the desired engine, then calls that engine passing it
the new query string. The contrib/ewswrap directory in the htdig source
distributions contains a few sample wrapper scripts, written in Perl,
which may help as a starting point.
