Question: I would like to have hard links that searches for keywords. In other words, I would like to have links that can just be clicked and the search results will be displayed for certain keywords.

Answer: To accomplish this you need to specify the URL path to your search script and then supply the keywords that the search script needs to search. A link like this would look something like this:

http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/pseek/search.cgi?keywords=some+keywords

Replace the path above (www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/etc) with your domain name and the path to your search.cgi

If the keywords you intend to search has spaces replace it with a plus or + sign.

Note that if you are using Mysql's fulltext searching then you need to search using search2.cgi instead of search.cgi - The link would then look like this:
http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/pseek/search2.cgi?keywords=some+keywords

Note that you can set the search method (MySQL's fulltext searching or PowerSeek's relevance formula) by going to the Control Panel >> Settings >> Global Engine Settings >> 4. Search Settings
