OPAC: Create External Search Form Widget
[This article was copied from the Voyager Wiki.]
Introduction
This relates to the "New" Tomcat WebVoyage user interface that is included in Voyager 7.0.1 and forward.
I spent several hours figuring out this code. Yes, I know it is dumb, but I've put it up here anyways so I never have to fuss with it again. Besides, people keep asking me for it. You'll of course want to replace our URL with yours in the action parameter.
