The ISINDEX element defines a single-line text input. The label of the input field is specified using the element's PROMPT attribute. ISINDEX is deprecated in HTML 4.0 in favor of the INPUT element.

The ISINDEX element is equivalent to a FORM with a single INPUT of type text, a METHOD of get, and an ACTION pointing to the URI of the document containing the ISINDEX element.
