Great news! Did not know that.

Created the following example for anyone to use:

<form name="CC_Search" action="http://search.creativecommons.org"; method="get">
        Search for: <input type="text" name="query"><br>
        <input type="checkbox" name="comm" value="">use for commercial 
purposes<br>
        <input type="checkbox" name="deriv" value="">modify, adapt, or build 
upon<br>
        Which Search Engine: 
        <select name="engine">
                <option value="google">google</option>
                <option value="googleimg">googleimg</option>
                <option value="flickr">flickr</option>
                <option value="jamendo">jamendo</option>
                <option value="spin">spin</option>
                <option value="openclipart">openclipart</option>
                <option value="wikimediacommons">wikimediacommons</option>
                <option value="fotopedia">fotopedia</option>
                <option value="europeana">europeana</option>
                <option value="youtube">youtube</option>
                <option value="pixabay">pixabay</option>
                <option value="ccmixter">ccmixter</option>
                <option value="soundcloud">soundcloud</option>
        </select> <br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

works. :)
