Hi,
I have the www.envirolink.org/species/ site on the web and I keep it lynx
friendly.
>From time-to-time we would like to search the Web for, what we call,
search attrobute items. Below is an example:
<li><a
href='http://research.amnh.org/cgi-bin/herpetology/amphibia?by=Distributi
on&method=Contains&string=Afghanistan&Search=Search&.cgifields=method&.cgifields=
by'>
Following the "?" are things such as "by=Distribution" that are passed to
the cgi-bin after one fills in a web form.
In other words, we would like to search the web, not for "link:" or
"anchor:" but for "attribute:". :Attribute:" searches do not exist, but
why not?
We would like to find all sites that allow searches via their cgi-bins so
that we can get world wide sites that can and do search for "?by=" stuff
such as country, date, type, etc.
Thanks for lynx and your efforts.
