I have a search page on my website, but would like a shortcut from the home
page. I have a text box there and a search button, but how do I direct it to
use a specific search engine with the user entered text?
 
Not possible when using the FP Search Component.

Well, I basically want the equivalent of a google search bar on my page,
except instead of linking to google, i want it to link to a different search
engine. is that possible?
 
Yes, if you find another search engine that give you a search box that you can add to your site,
etc.

I though Google actually offered a "search form" that you can put in your
code (I'm not talking about their browser tool bar thingy).
 
try google's search.
This one adds a search box to your site to search Google generally.
http://www.google.com.au/searchcode.html#standard

This one searches either the web, or your own site.
http://www.google.com.au/searchcode.html#both

Free, too!

However if you mean you want a search field with say radio buttons to
*choose* one of several different search engines such as

Search ________________
with
*Google
*Alta Vista
*Yahoo
*GeoCities

(or whatever)

and it returns the results from that search engine, that sounds a little
more complicated.
 
Andrew--you're awesome!! I've been struggling for months trying to get FP
search to work. Google's alternative worked instantly. Thanks again.
