Small Blogger hack: Custom search

If you've got a blog in Blogger and your friends are so clumsy they don't know how to use Blogger's upper bar (not kidding), you can try this...

Create a small javascript function that fills and calls the submit of Blogger's bar:

JavaScript SearchBlog function that fills Blogger's navbar search form fields and submits it

Create the fake search form:

HTML for a fake search form with a text box and "Search Archives" button that calls SearchBlog

Additionally, you can create clickable topics/keywords to get related posts:

HTML links that call SearchBlog with topic names such as AD&D and Aion when clicked

And that's all:

Blog sidebar showing an archives dropdown, search box, "Search Archives" button and a clickable topics list
