Or set up a select list, e.g.

<select name="search_algorithm">
  <option value="exact" selected>exact</option>
  <option value="substring">substring</option>
</select>

backed by a configuration statement that allows the search_algorithm
attribute to be set by the form:

allow_in_form:	search_algorithm

You probably want to build_select_lists for that choice, too. See
http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html for the attributes' descriptions.
