</HEAD>
<BODY BACKGROUND="sumtextb.jpg">
<h1 align="center">Welcome</h1>
<p align="left">
<b>Search</b>
<form action="http://www.google.com" method="GET">
<table border=0>
<tr>
<td>Search String</td>
<td align=center><input type="text" name="p" ></td>
</tr>
</table></br></br>
</form>
</p>
</body>
</html>

Thanks in advance for the help..

Hey,

If you mean a script as in

<?php
# Script stuff
?>

I don't see anything.
😕

Did you forget to include it in your post?

Cheers,

You have to submit the page to the right place.
This is what google has as their search link.
I think it will not bring the search results into your page but rather show the results on their site.

<center>
<FORM method=GET action="http://www.google.com/search">
<TABLE bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><tr><td>
<A HREF="http://www.google.com/">
<IMG SRC="http://www.google.com/logos/Logo_40wht.gif"
border="0" ALT="Google" align="absmiddle"></A>
<INPUT TYPE=text name=q size=25 maxlength=255 value="">
<INPUT type=submit name=btnG VALUE="Google Search">
</td></tr></TABLE>
</FORM>
</center>

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the suggestion. That worked. I have one more question though. I am trying to use GNU wget in order to download a web page automatically. Is is possible to use this tool to download web pages that have been generated as a result of a search. (I am thinking that its not possible because such a web page does not exist on the web server..please confirm...if I can't do that..how is it possible to save the same using a browser's SAVE utility??)

Thanks,
Aravind
