Thanks, although I don't see it yet.

Do you think the following page in the chain could also be changed? If
I search for "netstd" I get a listing search_packages.pl but the pages
I get to when I link from that one could also have the search form.

That one in particular is where you'd like to perform additional
searches. You click to download the package you wanted, then want to
search for another package. Why shouldn't there be a search form on
that page then? This is fairly run-of-the-mill procedure in search
engines these days. You don't want to have to surf back several steps
just to be able to perform another search.

Sounds good :-)

Thanks for taking the time to look into this, though.
