Synopsis

<isindex />

Deprecated.Marks the document as searchable. The server on which the document is located must have a search engine that supports this searching. The browser displays a text entry field and a generic line that says, “This is a searchable index. Enter search keywords.” This method is outdated; more sophisticated searches can be handled with form elements and CGI scripting.

The isindex element is not part of the form system and does not need to be contained within a form element.
