that's probably fairly straight-forward. basically when you do a search
from a search form, a crazy URL should appear in your browsers URL area.
something like:
"http://blah.com/cgi-bin/htsearch?config=htdig&restrict=&exclude=&method=and
&format=builtin-long&words=Januray".
basically, copy this URL and paste it into the html of your page, as you
wrote above.
in the event that a URL of the above form doesnt appear, it means that your
search form is set up to make "POST" queries, in which case you just need
to change your initial form tag to read: "<FORM method=get ..."
i'm not sure of the advantage of this over having a search selection ...
but it's your call.
