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
