I want to do the same thing.

But, if I change TempalteDefault.pm , won't that effect every search form of every application ?

I'm building on my own machine where I have root access and can change the SWISH files, but later I will want to install on another machine with standard SWISH where other apps may be relying on a standard TempalteDefault.pm.

Is there a way I can achieve this just for the one app or one form ?

I guess I could copy TempalteDefault.pm to customTempalteDefault.pm,
would I then need to change all occurences of "SWISH::TempalteDefault" with "SWISH::customTempalteDefault" ?

Sorry, this is more of a perl query than a swish-e query , but could i keep customTempalteDefault.pm in a local directory, and if so how do I ensure it gets used ? do I just drop the "SWISSH::" prefix in swish.cgi ?
