To create a search that will display the results on a new page with the UH template, use Google's University Search.

If you'd like to include a search box that will only search within your department's pages, you might try including the form below. It uses Google's search engine, but limits the results to only matches within your department's directory or site. If you set this up and get no results, please contact us.

Copy the below text to your page and make the appropriate changes to the in url in the "hq" parameter:

The example html code below searches the /infotech directory:

<FORM METHOD="get" ACTION="http://www.hawaii.edu/site/scripts/search.php">
<INPUT TYPE=text name=q size=31 maxlength=255 value="" /> 
<INPUT type=submit name=sa VALUE="Go" />
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="hq" VALUE="inurl:www.hawaii.edu/infotech" />
</FORM>

Examples using Google's University Search, a free "product" that allows .edu sites to tailor a Google search to their specific domains/directories.
