Including a Brown Search Engine search on your site

You may wish to include a search form on your web page that will allow users to search only the documents in your web publishing area. To do this, simply include a form that takes user input and passes it to the search engine. Copy and paste this HTML code for the form into your page, and then make one customization (in red below):

<form METHOD=get ACTION="http://search.brown.edu/search/texis/webinator/search/">

<input TYPE=hidden NAME=uq VALUE="www.brown.edu/yoursite%">
Search for:
<INPUT SIZE=30 name=query value="">
<input TYPE=submit name=submit VALUE="Submit">

</form>


Set the variable uq to refer to the section of the Brown web you'd like to include in your search. For example,

<input TYPE=hidden NAME=uq VALUE="www.brown.edu/Facilities/CIS%">

You will get the following search box:


Search for:


which will search only the CIS web publishing area. You can control the look of the page where you start the search, but it is not possible to control the look of the results page.
