[Templates] Pulling in URL parameters from a Form

Hello,

	I am hoping to do a search of a file based on user input. I already  
have my template and I was hoping to put a <form> tag in it so that I  
might get user input, then pass that to a cgi script to do the search  
logic.

If I use the following:

    [%- CGI.start_form({ action => '/cgi-bin/search.cgi' });

         CGI.textfield('search','',30,30);
         CGI.submit('');
         CGI.end_form.join(''); %]

I can then get the value of the textfield with [% SET string =  
CGI.param('search') %}

However, how can I paste that onto the URL so that the search cgi  
script pointed to by the action parameter sees the CGI.param 
('search') string?
