Yes, the form is pretty much identical to that. What I'm writing is a
form of metasearch. My form takes in a query and sends the query to
appropriate engine.
It does'nt give a 404 or 500, it just returns a blank page. With a one
word query it returns the correct page.
If I get the query using the above and then use
out.println(query) ............it will print the correct query, so I
figure its no passing the value(if its a multiple word query) from the
servlet to the search engine.
Hmm, this isn't nice. You're changing your problem description.
At first you let us know that information is not getting passed to the
servlet. Now you're telling that you can see the information in the
servlet. So, the form part of the question is irrelevant; the issue
is what does your servlet do to the string it received - how it is
passed on, and what kind of interface there is to the search side.
Yeah, It could be that he worked out that it wasn't the problem he
thought it was, and instead was a different problem.
I'm assuming since he hasn't posted a question since then (which he
hasn't), he's figured out the rest on his own.
