The clean way would be ECMAscript (JavaScript) in header.html
and a mod to long.html and short.html to enable the script to
pick up $&(URL) (or plain $(URL) or something - go figure).
A bit like this - with apologies to Google and modulo thinkos:
const foo=1; /* 0-based sequence of the first hit in your output page;
is 1 if you have one "refine search" FORM earlier in the
output HTML than any result listing. */;
function feelingLucky() {
if ("$(MATCHES)" == "1") {
window.location.href=document.forms[foo].url1.value;
/* do something with window.history if you feel like it */
}
else {
/* nada */
}
}
with long|short.html containing something like:
<FORM action="">
<INPUT type="hidden" name="url1" value="$&(URL)">
</FORM>
<!-- rest of entry -->
This needs more thought needed about namespaces and/or anonymous
forms and browser differences regarding these.
There may well be a better mechanism for passing $(URL) to the
script. Picking up document.links[foo].href is simple and robust
to browser differences - but requires anyone in future who
changes the number of links in header.html to remember to
update foo.
The unclean way is a branch of Ht://search that I'm not
going to think about :-)
