Here is an example of one website that actually used a sliced up image map that does the search.
http://www.greathomes2 47.com/golden.htm
"Search homes by price range" in the middle of the page. If you look at the source you can see how he is having to pull it.
What I would like to do is create a landing page for particular adword ad groups (cities) that would automatically redirect to a particular search. I.E. User sees ad on google, clicks on it and then goes lands on the custom landing page for that city, that then automatically redirects to the predefined search that has been set up using the form.
Still following me?
This way the user does not have to make an extra click, is delivered directly to the content they are seeking, thus making my life easier and my client happy. :)
Seriously, this would help him out some and I would like to try to do it for him.
Here is an example of a custom made .asp script made to do the same thing but I would be happy with a simple redirect that would do the trick for now.

He is also changing systems in the future so something short and sweet would be okay.
Can I do a redirect to a predefined form that would be submitted simantaneously upon landing on the page? I.E. automatically redirect to this:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
- <form name="form1" method="post" action="http://denver.mbb1.com/display.php?companyid=190334&headercontent=yes" target="new">
- <input type="hidden" name="buildquery" value="yes">
- <input type="hidden" name="action" value="search">
- <input type="hidden" name="sort" value="PRICE">
- <input type=hidden name="city[]" value="Golden">
- <input type=hidden name="house_type" value="res">
- <input type=hidden name=price_from value="1">
- <input type=hidden name=price_to value="100">
