You're doing the search/drill down pages?  OK, then I won't duplicate the
efforts.  Did you still want me to do the search form, everything between
<FORM action="">
...
</FORM>

Now here's the thing though.

Do we want to use the standard htsearch output?  Basically you have a
static header.html and footer.html which get added to the search results.  

I don't think that's very cool, because now we loose the ability to do
dynamic content on the search results, which actually is pretty
important for successive searches.

The other solution is to use PHP or mod_perl to parse the htdig html
output and reformat it for the user.  Check out:

http://beta.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/search/

which gives a simplistic intro on doing this with PHP.  The same concepts
could be used for mod_perl.  Of course the bad thing about this is the CPU
overhead associated.
