Try making your action end with just search/, removing the ~/a?a.
Here's ours, which you can see at http://www.plsinfo.org/:

<form name=search action="http://catalog.plsinfo.org/search/";
method=get>
              <div align="right"> <font size="-1" face="Verdana, Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong><font size="-2">Search
                      PLS Libraries</font></strong>:</font>

                  <select name="searchtype">
                    <option value="X">Keyword</option>
                    <option value="t">Title</option>
                    <option value="a">Author</option>
                    <option value="d">Subject</option>
                    <option value="c">Call Number</option>

                  </select>
                  <input maxlength=75 name="searcharg" size="10" />
                  <select name="searchscope">

Subject: [IUG] Search box on website

Hello,

It's a little late in the game, but a month or so back we finally took
the
plunge and upgraded our catalog to WebPac Pro.  I was very relieved to
see
that the catalog continued to work as normal, and it took a little while
before I discovered the one thing that seems to have gotten busted:  the
catalog searchbox on our library webpage.  All the searches work
normally
except for the keyword search, which now results only in messages that
"This
record is not available".  III refuses to help, since the code is not on
their server.  Can any of you tell me my error, and how to fix it?
Here's
the code:

 <form METHOD="get"
ACTION="http://catalog.maplewoodlibrary.org/search/~/a?a";>
<p align="left"><select name="searchtype">
                <option value="X" selected>KEYWORD</option>
                <option value="t">TITLE</option>
                <option value="a">AUTHOR</option>
                <option value="d">SUBJECT</option>
           </select> <input type="TEXT" NAME="searcharg" size="20"
maxlength="75" value>
              <input type="SUBMIT" value="GO!">
<b><font color="#008000" size="2" face="Arial"><br>
              SEARCH THE CATALOG</font></p>
              </form>

Website url is www.maplewoodlibrary.org.  Please excuse the sloppy
code--I'm
just an amateur!

Many thanks for your help.

Barbara
