<p>The <strong class=html>ISINDEX</strong> element defines a <em>single-line text input</em>. The label of the input field is specified using the element's <strong class=html>PROMPT</strong> attribute. <strong class=html>ISINDEX</strong> is <a href="../deprecated.html">deprecated</a> in HTML4.0 in favor of the <strong class=html><a href="../forms/input.html">INPUT</a></strong> element.</p>
<p>When the user presses the enter key within the input field, the input field's text is sent to the server in a query string appended to the document's base <abbr class=initialism title="Uniform Resource Identifier">URI</abbr>. The query string takes the form "?text+of+input+field"; spaces are encoded as "+".</p>
