The HTML page contains the HTML you need to add to your site.
You can choose from a variety of panels, links, buttons, and more.
Most people will want to use one of the available search panels.
These allow your visitors to search directly on your site.
There are also simple links (text links and buttons) available.
These lead the user to a query page which they use to enter their
query. And finally, there is a selection of other panels which prominently
display just the site map or what's new feature on your site.
This search panel only appears if you are using sections (see
How to Use Sections).
After you have defined your search sections this panel will appear, and
will contain a drop down allowing you to choose which section of your site
you want to search.
For more detailed instructions on adding HTML to your site see
Adding HTML to Your Site, the last section in this page.
You may want to change the labels of the sections as they appear
in the drop down list. This is fine, just be sure to change the
option text only, not the option value itself.
To see an example of this, and more information on customizing
any search panel to support sections, see
Customizing Your Search Panel with Sections.

The text area below each search panel (or text link) contains the
needed HTML code.
Copy that HTML code (be sure to grab it all!) then
paste it into your web page using a text editor (like notepad).
The reason we recommend using a text editor is that HTML editors
often modify the code you are trying to add - usually without telling you!
If you are hesitant to use a text editor because you are not familiar with HTML,
first open your page using your usual HTML editor and add the text "insert here" to
your page where you want the search panel to be. Then save the page and open it with
the text editor. Look for the "insert here" text and paste the search panel HTML
into that spot.
If you must use an HTML editor, look for its "paste HTML" function and
use that instead of a regular "paste".
If that doesn't work, use the text editor.
