Description:
We would like to remove the Altavista choice from the browse/search when users click on a heading term in the OPAC. And how do we go about adding new search engines to this file?

Resolution:
Search engines are defined in the BIB library $data_tab / tab_z121.

Note that col.1 of tab_z121 should be in UPPERCASE.
The search string should contain the site's syntax, and "$0100" placeholder for search query.

In www_f_eng/service-engine, the engines should be listed:

<select name="engine">
<option value=google>Google</option>
<option value=excite>Excite</option>
<option value=britannica>Britannica</option>
<option value=bing>Bing</option>
</select>


The demo tab_z121 looks like follows:

EXCITE http://msxml.excite.com/search/web?q=$0100
GOOGLE http://www.google.com/search?q=$0100&meta=lr%3D%26hl%3Den
BRITANNICA http://www.britannica.com/search?query=$0100
BING http://www.bing.com/search?q=$0100
