This file (catalog1.htm) is the one that is loaded in the top menu panel.
It contains the form which submits searches. Search results appear in
the main display panel on the bottom (catalog2.htm).
It should not be used by itself but should be pulled up by pointing your
browser at the main frame control file (index.htm.)
You should only change those items indicated as changeable below.

// Change "put.your.url.here" with the URL of your III Web catalog (the second URL).

// You can also add many search engines, such as Yahoo, by doing the following:
//
// Do a search on a search engine using the terms "looking for this"
// Copy the URL and paste into one of the Addindx blocks below
// The last entry in the list below uses Infoseek in this manner.
