Subject: Geolocation search
Attached diff for search.cgi's output. It's quite small, and will be
easy to apply by hand if it can't be done automagically. Add a name to
the existing form, then drop a dollop of Javascript immediately after
it. May need some HTML prettiness TLC :-)

Incidentally, if you just type a distance into the box and hit enter it
doesn't work, you need to click the Go link. That's because I didn't
know how to create a form button that didn't just submit the form - it
needs to do some Javascript magic first.

This patch to the output of search.cgi adds a
"find stuff within x
metres of my current location" form if you are using a browser which
supports the navigator.geolocation object.

The fixed-width renders badly, and clicking [Go] gives me a 404 on

Got myself a little more informed now and read the source. Looks like this
means navigator.geolocation doesn't work in Android's browser, and you have
to do some Google Gears-specific nastiness to get the geolocation.

Looks at the sample app, it doesn't look difficult and would be pretty easy
to handle both methods:

And it looks like someone has already done the legwork to make it work both
ways:

Yay, lets make up our own standard! Thanks google!

I added a <script src=geometa.js></script> to my version, see if that
works for you now.

I didn't make any layout-ish changes. I wouldn't know how to :-)

Did you use the button for the top form, or the link that I used instead
of a button for the form I added? You need to use the lower form.

<form onsubmit="latlongform()"> and drop the .submit() call from your
latlongform function.
