Limiting the search scope of FP2003 search wizard

[John]

All I want to do is to have the user supply his state
abbreviation and I will either take him to his state's
support group page or give him a link he can click on.

I don't want the search to run through all of the files
on the site. I simply want to search into a file and
return a value based on that search.

Surely it is possible or has been done as a common add-
on.

Since I'm on the topic, I want to be able to search my
site but limit which files are searched. How do I do
that? Is there a way of setting the search up so that it
will start and run from a 'restricted area'?

thanks in advance.

Pretty straight forward with JavaScript.
Just have a long string of if sentences.
Something like this:

Function changePage(){
Var state=document.forms[0].formfieldname.value;
If (state==al or state==AL)
top.location=alaska.htm;
If (state== and so on.

Use a button to call the function.
You will probably want to add some error detection.
