It's very easy to make a search widget that allows you to start an
Evergreen search from your library's website. We've done it at our library
with Wordpress, but it should be equally easy in any system that will let
you write HTML.

Our search form is slightly more complicated in that it allows you to
choose whether to search our website or the catalog. This requires some
Javascript and some some server-side scripting (in case someone has
Javascript disabled) but is still pretty easy. You can see our website at
http://forbeslibrary.org/. I've also included a screenshot of the "widget".
