search — NN 2 IE 3 DOM 1

Synopsis

Read/Write

The URL-encoded portion of a URL assigned to the HREF attribute that begins with the ? symbol. A document that is served up as the result of the search also may have the search portion available as part of the window.location property. You can modify this property with a script. Doing so sends the URL and search criteria to the server. You must know the format of data (usually name/value pairs) expected by the server to perform this properly.

Example

document.all.searchLink.search="?p=Tony+Blair&d=y&g=0&s=a&w=s&m=25"

Value

String starting with the ? symbol.

Default

None.
