Revision Content
{{Deprecated_header}}

Summary

<isindex> is an obsolete HTML element that puts a text field in a page for querying the document. <isindex> was intended to be used inside of the {{HTMLElement("head")}} element by the W3C, but browsers supported it no matter where it was used.

<isindex> is deprecated as of HTML 4.01, because the same behaviour can be achieved with an HTML form.

Attributes

Like all other HTML elements, this element accepts the global attributes.

{{htmlattrdef("prompt")}}
This attribute adds its value as a prompt for text field.
{{htmlattrdef("action")}}
This attribute can be used to send the query to a different URL. Action is not defined by W3C.

Example

<head>
  <isindex prompt="Search Document... " />
</head>
