I understand your frustration, but this isn't strictly true. You can attach
a onkeypress event to the search boxes in IE4 and later (not easily doable
in
NS4, since they are not DOM compliant yet), which and submit the form for
you.
Something like (and this is off the top of my head so it may need syntax
corrections):
<input type="text" onkeypress="this.form.submit();">
I'm not positive what effect (if any) this will have on Netscape Browsers.
You may need to execute it conditionally, depending on the browser type.
