I received this response from X-Cart... I works great
1. Create 'auto_search.php' file in the '<xcart_root_dir>' folder.
2. Open this file and add following code :
Code:
---
<HTML>
<BODY onLoad="document.process.submit();">
<TABLE width=100% height=100%>
<TR><TD align=center valign=middle>
<FORM action="search.php" method="POST" name="process">
<INPUT type="hidden" name="simple_search" value="Y">
<INPUT type="hidden" name="mode" value="search">
<INPUT type="hidden" name="posted_data[by_title]" value="Y">
<INPUT type="hidden" name="posted_data[by_shortdescr]" value="Y">
<INPUT type="hidden" name="posted_data[by_fulldescr]" value="Y">
<INPUT type="hidden" name="posted_data[substring]" size="16" value="<? echo $substr ?>">
<INPUT type="submit" name="submit1" value="JavaScript is disabled in your browser. Please press this button.">
Please wait while searching...</TD>
</FORM>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
---
3. After that you will be able to use links like :
