It didn't work - here is the [adjusted]code:

[code]

     <form 
action="http://www.google.com/search?q=phrase+site%3Alists.ubuntu.com%2Farchives%2Fkubuntu-users%2F" 
method="get" id="google_general">
       <p>
	<input type="text"   name="q" size="31" maxlength="256" id="google_general-input" />
	<input type="submit" value="Search" />
       </p>
     </form>

[code]

After typing 'wireless' into the search box I get:
http://www.google.com/search?q=wireless

It's not so important, I just  wanted to be able to create a useful 'home' page for my browser.

If you have another suggestion.....

Blessings,

Nigel
