    3. Melissa, It is allowed and many of us took advantage of it awhile back. I have both Wood county and Portage county with a search engine... http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/wood/wood.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/portage/portage.htm It is so much nicer and my researchers love it... Here is the code (BTW, I changed it to Kewaunee so it will work for your pages as is, but if you check it out and it needs to be twicked, email me and I'll check it. Just cut and paste it into your page like I did on mine - see above URLs) : Start copying below this line: <CENTER> <TABLE CELLPADDING="5" WIDTH="95%" BGCOLOR="#000080" BORDER="1"> <TR> <TD> <FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF"><B> <CENTER> <form method="post" action="http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/htsearch"> Match: <select name=method> <option value=and>All the words <option value=or>Any of the words </select> Format: <select name=format> <option value=builtin-long>Document Name and Headline <option value=builtin-short>Document Name Only </select> Sort by: <select name=sort> <option value=score>Score <option value=time>Time <option value=title>Title <option value=revscore>Reverse Score <option value=revtime>Reverse Time <option value=revtitle>Reverse Title </select> <input type=hidden name=config value=htdig> <br> <INPUT TYPE="radio" HIDDEN NAME="restrict" VALUE="/wi/">Search Wisconsin &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <INPUT TYPE="radio" HIDDEN NAME="restrict" VALUE="wi/kewaunee" CHECKED>Search Kenaunee County&nbsp;&nbsp; <input type="text" size="30" name="words" value=""> <input type="submit" value="Search"> <BR> <BIG><FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF">Search the USGenWeb Archives (Enter a surname or place).</FONT></BIG> </CENTER> </form> </B></FONT> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </CENTER> Stop copying above this line!!! If anyone else wishes to use it, let me know if you need help altering the code for your pages... R/S MAK ====================== Hi, I was wondering if anyone who has a search engine for their page (something like freefind or pico) has their county's archives or genconnect boards indexed too. I know the 2 have their own search engines, but I was just thinking how nice it would be for the person visiting the page to be able to do it all in one shot. Would that even be allowed?
