Search() Function

Search('url1','url2'...url[n])

url1 - URL to retrieve a first page of search results
url2 - URL to retrieve the second page of search results
...
url[n] - URL to retrieve the n'th page of search results.

Typically the url parameters will contain a %QUERY% variable to specify the search query for which to retrieve results.

You can define any number of result pages, however if you are also using the the navigation toolbar control, you should specify 9 result pages.

The following code adds an AltaVista search button.



<xml id="toolbar">
<control type="combo" id="query" width=180 action="Click(av)"></control>
</control>
<control type="toolbar">
<!-- AltaVista Search -->
<button

caption="AltaVista Search"
tooltip="Search AltaVista"
id="av"
action="Search(
'http://www.altavista.com/web/results?q=%QUERY%&kgs=0&kls=1&avkw=xytx',
'http://www.altavista.com/web/results?q=%QUERY%&kgs=0&kls=1&avkw=xytx&stq=10',

'http://www.altavista.com/web/results?q=%QUERY%&kgs=0&kls=1&avkw=xytx&stq=80')">

</button>
</control>
</xml>




Note: When clicked, the first page of results will be returned. To access result pages 2 to 9, you would need to add either the navigation toolbar control, or use the SearchNext(), SearchBack() or SearchPage() functions.
