Anyway, what I did was reinstate the line I had removed, now in my link 
that I want to generate just a search form, I use the url:

http://site/search.pl?op=onlyForm

which seems to do the trick. the risk of course is that some later version 
will have an op with that name, but the benefit is I get what I want and I 
didn't change the code, which as we just saw, can have unintended side. 
effects.
