OSR5 FAQ

You don't have access to the search tools this way, but you can simulate that with the following cgi-bin script.



#!/bin/sh
# @(#) nftpsearch - wrapper for simple form access to scohelp search engine 
# call without QUERY_STRING set html form, with QUERY_STRING for search
# relies on single Form search field called query
#
# Install as:  /var/scohttp/cgi-bin/nftsearch.sh  on OSR5.0.[024] systems.
# Access via:  URL:<http://localhost:457/cgi-bin/nftsearch.sh> (any browser)
