RE: search OPAC from library home?

["Throgmorton, Nason L." <nlthrogmorton at ccis dot edu>]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to send a limit to a material type using the form
type below. I am would like a search box on our AV website that will
only search the catalog for videos.

Thank you,
Nason Throgmorton
Stafford Library

Emily -- we decided to go with just a plain box that automatically does
a
keyword search, with the go button next to it.  Here's the code:
<table>
<form name="catalog" action="http://your.catalog.url/search/a?a";
method="post" onsubmit="return checkform(this);">
<tr><td align="bottom">
<input type="hidden" name="searchtype" value="X" />
<input name="searcharg" id="searchterms" size="13" />
<input type="hidden" name="SORT" value="D" />
</td><td valign="top">
<input type="image" value="Submit"
src="http://your.catalog.url/screens/go_but.gif"; class="searchbutton"
accesskey="s" title="Search the Library catalog" alt="Search the Library
catalog"/>
</td>
</tr></table>

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"
