Bastien is right, this is more of a Javascript issue.
It can be accomplished very easily by doing the following.
Once the user enters the search criteria have the submit button/link call a
javascript function like the following:
function submitForm(var1,var2) {
top.leftFrame.document.my_search.text1.value = var1;
top.leftFrame.document.my_search.text2.value = var2;
top.leftFrame.document.my_search.submit();
document.search_form.submit();
}
And this would be your submit link:
<a
href="javascript:submitForm(document.search_form.var1.value,document.search_form.var2.value)">SEARCH</a>
