An HTML tag which tells the browser todisplay a text entry box on the current page. Any textentered in the box by the user is appended as a URL-encodedquery string to the current URL and sent to the serverusing a GET method.This is a simple way of making a website searchable orallowing other kinds of simple user input. It relies on theserver mapping the query URL to an appropriate process,probably depending on the page in which the ISINDEX appeared.More complex input can be catered for using the FORM tag, orJava.
