OT: Useful start page

Mon Feb 2 15:14:14 UTC 2009

Hi guys& gals,

I've been using the following for ages now and find it very useful. I think the original version 
came with Libranet (an old Linux distro that has now gone the way of the Dodo).
Perhaps someone would care to debug the 'Kubuntu Forums search' form as I can't get it to return 
a search query (my PHP is nearly non-existent).

So here it is:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Local Start Page</title>
</head>
<body onload="document.getElementById('Kubuntu').focus()">

<h3>Useful search start page</h3>
