That looks great, Maarten. It had never occurred to me before that CC Search could be widgetized until I read your message and thought about it for a second. It turns out the server-side fallback code for users with javascript disabled is useful for more than just that purpose. I think this is actually useful enough to almost warrant publishing this to the cc-affiliates@ list, or maybe cc-community@. Various other affiliates and/or community members might find it useful to add that form to their websites. Would you like to pass that information on?
