February 10, 1998 - Amiga webmasters who wish to add an Amiga search engine feature to their own web sites or personal home pages can now harness the enormous database of WWW destinations cataloged by the world-famous Amiga Web Directory. The best part of this new program is that web site owners are not required to posess any knowledge of Perl, CGI, scripts nor to have access to special directories or permissions on their servers.

CUCUG has published a very small portion of HTML code which home page maintainers may simply "snap" into thier own page to add a functional search box form. Users may then search the Amiga Web Directory directly from this search box and web links to pages matching the users' search criteria will be retrieved quickly.

The source code to add this new feature is small and simple to use. Just "snap" (copy and paste) the text from the code fragment below, into your own page's HTML code:

<form method=POST
action="http://www.cucug.org/cucug-bin/cucug-search-awd.pl">
<input type=hidden name="boolean" value="AND">
<input type=hidden name="case" value="Insensitive">
<font color=red><b>Search for Amiga Web Sites!</b></font><br>
<i>Search the huge <A HREF="http://www.cucug.org/amiga.html">
Amiga Web Directory</a><br>
database for Amiga-oriented Web sites.</i><br>
<input type=text name="terms" size=35> <input type=submit
value="Search">
</form>

A search box will be produced:

Search for Amiga Web Sites!
Search the huge Amiga Web Directory
database for Amiga-oriented Web sites.

CUCUG is pleased to offer this new service to the Amiga community.
