Ah k. I should have read better. You want to fill in the slots, not just jump to the results. The javascript would be something like document.quick_search_form.query.value='the text to search for here'
Since it sounds like you're using the LC browser object, you can probably build the string as above and use: get revbrowsersexecutescript(sBrowserInstanceId,tQuery) Just now got home, so I haven't had a chance to try it out to determine the exact method, but that should get you close.
