How to add a custom Archive-It search box to your website
Using the HTML code below, you can include a search box on your website that will link searches back to the Archive-It collections hosted on Archive-It.org. You can provide full text search for all or any specific collections that you choose.
Single collection
To search across a single collection, use the following code:
<form action="http://www.archive-it.org/collections/COLLECTIONID">
<input type="text" name="q"/>
<input type="hidden" name="show" value="ArchivedPages"/>
<input type="submit" name="go" value="Go" />
</form>
Replace COLLECTIONID with the Archive-It collection number partners would like their patrons to search.
All Collections
To provide access to all of your public collections in a search box, use the following code:
<form action="http://www.archive-it.org/organizations/ORGANIZATIONID">
<input type="text" name="q"/>
<input type="hidden" name="show" value="ArchivedPages"/>
<input type="submit" name="go" value="Go" />
</form>
Replace ORGANIZATIONID with the Archive-It organization number (which can be found by going to the organization page on Archive-It.org) for which you intend to enable the search.
