Unfortualy if you look at code it only works if keyword is placed a end off search engine url ..
now i wish to add a new search engine but the keyword is not at the end of url .. and search only works if words behind keyword are added ..how can i add the required info at end of keyword .. i must add this: ?=search&ON
this url i wish to add:
[searchengine.com...]
Keyword-here is were keyword goes..
but as you see it requires info behind keyword.
now can i add this or fit this url in bellow script with code after keyword.
im looking forward to your reply

But if you intend to add more search engines, you will probably find other "custom" configurations for the URL. So I'd suggest populating a third array for the tag ends that fall after the search term -- call it "crawlertag[]" or something like that. If the option involved ends with the search term, have that array element be a null value.
Then when you construct your "url" variable, just add the crawlertag[] element to the tail end. Does that seems sensible to you?
i only hav small perl skills

Note the part that reads 'q=test'. Well, move that to the end
[alltheweb.com...]
Then just remove your keyword
[alltheweb.com...]
THat is the string you would add into the javascript:
var crawlername = new Array("Google","Yahoo","Altavista (Raging)","FAST");
var crawleraction = new Array(
"http://www.google.com/search?q=",
"http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search?p=",
"http://www.altavista.com/sites/search/res_text?q=",
"http://www.alltheweb.com/search?cat=web&cs=utf-8&_sb_lang=en&q=");
