ABOUT BOOKS (http://aboutbooks.info)

One simple search box for finding information about author, title, subject… anything about books!

To make a search box that will search the OPLIN "about:books" web page, you need to make a web form that:

• uses the 'get' method, with
• 'http://aboutbooks.info' as the action, and
• has a text element named 'query'.

An example of this is below.

<form action="http://aboutbooks.info" method="get">
    <input type="text" name="query" />
    <input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>

...which makes a search box like this:
