Here is the version of the search-coding offered by GOOGLE
which is used in the John B. Johnston home page.




<FORM method=GET action="http://www.google.com/search">
<TABLE bgcolor="fff0e0">
  <TR>
    <TD>
      <INPUT TYPE=text name=q size=84 maxlength=500 value="">
    </TD>
  </TR>
</TABLE>
</FORM>



The window width is determined by the  size=84  field, which
can be varied as desired by the user, while the 
bgcolor  field
was chosen simply to match that of the overall page.
