Ive been trying to set up a search input type box where the only portion entered into the search is the actual string. The HTML code works great when using a Google search such as this simple code:

------
<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search">

<input type="text" name="q" size="31"
maxlength="255" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="Google Search" />

</form>
------

What im trying to do is use a search page such as the one on the apple discussion website. Issue comes up that i need it to specifically search criteria,. Exactly, ii would need it to use the search string criteria form the first code, then chose specific criteria on the actual site page. In the apple page example, i would need it to search say a specific forum from the drop down menu. I tried running a blank search and using that URL as my search site but it doesn't seem to work. It never search that specific forum.

ANY HELP ?
