We'd like to have a search box on our library's home page that will search the library catalog, instead of linking off to the catalog's page. Would anyone who has implemented this share how you did it?

It's not perfect because the first URIs retrieved aren't bookmark-able, but here's our form (salt to taste...)

         <form method="post" action="http://sculib.scu.edu/search/_"; name="">
 			  <select name="searchtype">
				<option value="X" selected>Keywords</option>
				<option value="a">Author</option>
				<option value="t">Title</option>
				<option value="d">Subject </option>
				<option value="c">LC Call Number</option>
				<option value="g">Gov Doc Number</option>
				<option value="i">ISBN/ISSN</option>
				<option value="r">by Course name</option>
				<option value="p">by Course Instructor</option>
			  </select>
			  <input type="text" name="searcharg" size="25" maxlength="60">
			  <input type="hidden" name="SORT" value="A">
			  <input type="image" border="0" name="submit" src="images/gifs/templates/search_oscar_red.gif" width="120" height="20" alt="Search OSCAR">
		  </form>

HTH,
