Search Bars Test1

This test page demonstrates custom search bars.

These have had to be coded by hand in HTML / Javascript.

For searches on this site, the search bar forwards search terms as an ?s query to www.ncgrl.vic.gov.au, which WordPress interprets as a search request.

For the catalogue search, the search bar constructs sends a GET URL for goldfields.spydus.com identical to the query generated by the default “grouped by title” search bar. We strip out any unexpected characters going to the Spydus URL – but they should be doing that anyway.
