Multiple forms into one form?

[bpmurphy]

Its been quite awhile since I have messed with this stuff and I could of swore that I use to do it all the time.

I have 3 forms on my page(search forms on an intranet page). I could of swore you could combine them but I don't recall how and google isn't being very productive for me right now.

I can provide the code if needed.

Thanks for the help if any can be provided.

Code would be good. Also tell us a little more about what they do, and why you want to combine them.

I'll post the code below.
The main portion of my intranet is a phpbb3 portal.
1 Search box is for the forums
1 Search box is for a custom php address book
1 Search box is for searching warrants on a local LE website

So on my main page I have 3 seperate search boxes. It would be nice if I could condense them into 1 and just have the user click a radio button(Forum, Address Book, Warrants) and click search.

Address Book

<form name="searchform" method="post" action="http://southpc/whitebook/list.php<?php $PHP_SELF ?>">
<input type="text" name="searchstring" id="searchfield" size="22" maxlength="40" value="" class="inputbox autowidth" />
<input type="submit" value="Search" class="button2" /><br>
</form>

Warrants

<form name="Form_ada" method="post" action="http://www.adasheriff.org/warrantsReport/wfrmWarrantsMain.aspx" id="Form_ada">
