[development] custom search form

[Richard Morse]

I don't know for sure if this is what you're looking for, but I may  
have solved the problem you're looking at. Look at the module  
site_user_list, which implements a form that allows you to search the  
list of users, and displays the results.

Also, you might want to look at:
http://www.lullabot.com/articles/ 
drupal_5_making_forms_that_display_their_own_results

which describes another way to achieve the same kind of result.

HTH,
Ricky
