including multiple DBs in the form

[Thunderstone]

HI,
Can I include multiple DBs in the search form ????

For example
---------------------------------------------
<SELECT NAME=db>
<OPTION VALUE="db">temp1
<OPTION VALUE="db1">temp2
<OPTION VALUE="db,db2">temp3
<OPTION VALUE="db1,db2">temp4
</SELECT>
---------------------------------------------

Where db db1 and db2 are 3 separate DBs indexed on different portions/dirs of
the website.

Thanx much
Sumant

PS : Is there any section at www.thunderstone.com which talks about different
types of using the search form....I mean

simple search
search with radio buttons
search with combo box ?? etc ?

The first two (temp1 and temp2) will work. The others won't with the
default script. If you want to search multiple databases with one submit
you'll need to modify the search script to perform the query on one db,
switch to the other db, and perform the query again. Check out the list

See the vortex docs at http://www.thunderstone.com/vortexman/ for tools
that aid in creating radio buttons and list boxes, such as
<radiobutton>, <options>, etc. .
