When I try to add a search engine to my newly-implemented web search MOD I (e.i.) put Google for title and http://infoseek.go.com/ for my URL. I get this error when i sumit configuration:
There Was A Problem With Your Details

Your URL must contain the [KEYWORDS] placeholder

This might sound dumb but what am I supposed to do?

You enter a URL that is for a search like www.search.com?search=[KEYWORDS]

When someone does a search from the box on your page, a window opens with that URL and [KEYWORDS] is replaced with what they typed.

Cheers, Dave!

For http://infoseek.go.com/ the URL you have to enter would be:
http://go.google.com/hws/search?client=disney-go&q=[KEYWORDS]

Thanks, I'm glad you like it

In case you haven't seen it, there's a file available that automatically installs search engines.
Download here, more information here.
