Swish-e

Hello,

I missed radio button "all" for "Limit search to" if calling search.cgi in
Browser without any URL parameters (such like a first call to the search
area) and found a workaround:

calling search.cgi? instead of search.cgi, so just add a "?" to the end of
the link to the cgi script

My HTML documents have classic meta-tags like author, description, keywords.
A search within my documents has to consider these fields too, if required
by user, so swishdefault is not enough for me. "All" must be an option in
search form.

If I called the search.cgi for the first time I couldn't choose searching
for all. After doing a first search with some other limit the radiobutton
for "all" was presented. Then I found out, just the "?" in URL caused
showing required all-Button. It is a workaround.

Didn't found it in the Discussion List, maybe an IIS/Windows issue or a
misconfiguration of mine or a bug or whatever.
