How to Google type homepage?

[Manny0131]

Hi there!
I was wondering if someone can help me, my website is more like a web directory in stead of forum type thing, I wish to make my homepage like Google using the "Tag Search" block, see image for an example. I really need this, i have dreamweaver in case it has to be done from the outside, just need to know where to get this html text

Thanks

You should copy the code from the tags.php page where there is the tag search.
