Steve,

I had started with an html form, but there are significant problems  
that way.
mixed namespaces, formatting, documents inside documents etc...

it is true that only opera currently supports search boxes, though  
there are script workarounds.
you can try http://www.openicon.org/db/search.php?search=c etc for  
batik or amaya.

given the lack of support for <use:external> at firefox and safari,  
this is a fairly minor issue, as you can only get the text labels or  
gloss.

please keep up the feedback.

cheers
