I never managed to successfully get MT Search to work, so I am not familiar with it, but do you perhaps need a full URL path to mt-search.cgi in the form?

CODE
http://www.thealders.net/cgi-bin/mt-search.cgi


Just a guess, since I'm not sure at all...

Fixed - I missed a " in one of the div class statements

I'm trying to install mt-search. I installed as per the instructions and did not make any changes to any of the files other than setting chmod 755 on mt-search.cgi. When I ran http://www.thealders.net/cgi-bin/mt-search.cgi the search form came up and when I did a test dearch it returned the expected results, so no problem there. However, when I tried to implement it in my Main Index template with this code:

CODE
<div class="side>
<form method="post" action="mt-search.cgi">
<input type="text" name="search"> <input type="submit" value="Go">
</form>
<div>


The form shows up but I get no results. What am I doing wrong?

TIA
