I'm a graduate student doing research in Genetics and molecular biology fields. I use NCBI PubMED a lot. Actually, everyone I know depend on NCBI PubMED for their references. However, It is not that easy to import NCBI reference to refbase.
I write some code for refbase to search in NCBI, then it will list the search result and show title, author, journal, year. It list 100 result per page. Simply click the title, it will import select item to your refbase library. Or you can check the checkbox in front of the title and it will import all items you selected into your refbase library.
It make reference selection and import much more easy. However, I'm not a php programmer. I know a lot about ASP but not PHP. I wrote these code by search php manual in google. So I think you must be able to improve the code very much.
I don't know too much about your program flow in search.php, so I showed all htm head and foot and terminate the program when it is done. you may be able to integrate it better.
Hope it is useful for you.

I pasted the code you suggested but it didn't work for me. Using the search.php via the field on the homepage view gives me a blank page. I also called up the NCBIsearch.php page separately via the location bar. This produced the simple search page as intended but the search there didn't work.
Any ideas on where things went astray. Did you test the code on your local setup?

http://152.19.87.44/refbase/refbase.rar
unpack with winrar and see what's the difference.
Good luck!
I know what's the problem, add the following line after line 165 of includes\header.inc.php so that the link will show up
<a href="NCBIsearch.php">NCBI Search</a> |
Also, to add head and foot to the search form, use this fancy version of NCBIsearch.php
