Is it possible to combine the search link selections into specific categories. For example:
1. The current links combined would be labeled "Internet". If the checkbox was selected, it would return results for preset engines that are in the code. What I would like to do is have maybe three checkboxes, one for Internet, one for external DB's, and one for my web site. Each category could have multiple search engines assigned to them.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Yes, you could do that with a little vortex coding. It's beyond the scope of tech support though. Have a set of variables for
the various types of searches, then based on the checkbox(es) set the actually used variables to the appropriate set.

Could you provide a little more details?
I would really appreciate it.

Thanks
