[Web4lib] library catalog search box in Facebook

[Robin Hastings]

We created one for our III catalog - and I released the code that I
used on the app page, too. The code is at
http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=6306029326#/topic.php?uid=6306029326&topic=3317
and it might help you get started with the FBML, at least!
