Drop-down menus and search functions

Hi there,

1) I'm running a site with large article archives organised in a hierarchy
system. There's the homepage and from there lots of buttons to choose
different subsections which in turn contain subsections which eventually get
to the articles.

Is there anyway of adding a search function whereby the visitor can search
all of the site for key words and bring up a list of files/pages or whatever
that include those key words?

2) Is there any way to install a drop down menu on Frontpage (effectively
taking the place of a bunch of buttons?). The only kind of menu I can find is
one for filling in forms (ie, the individual selections aren't
'hyperlinkable' so won't do as navigation tools).

Any ideas would be enormously appreiciated!

Thanks!

1. FrontPage has a built in Search component you can install / use if your host supports it.

2. Here's an example of a drop down select:

<form>
<p><b>Select a Site </b>
<select id="setit" style="color: #0000FF" size="1">
<option value="">Select one</option>
<option value="http://www.altavista.com">AltaVista</option>
<option value="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo</option>
<option value="http://www.google.com">Google</option></select>
<input type="button" value="Go"
onclick="window.open(setit.options[setit.selectedIndex].value)">
</p></form>
