Unusually, the form doesn't have a submit button.
The form submitting is actually done by the javascript verify() function, loaded (at the top of the page) from https://lawclerks.ao.uscourts.gov:443/devl/web/scripts/web_verify.js, and called by <input type=button OnClick=javascript:verify(document.forms[0]); name=search width=120 value='Search' >
The verify() function ends in
i.e. it sets the form action to the url given, then submits the form. So you don't want to set search => 'javascript:verify(document.forms[0])' -- that function isn't the value of the submit button, it's what gets called when you click on the submit button.f.action='https://lawclerks.ao.uscourts.gov/web/jobSearch'; f.submit()
It's interesting that they've chosen to do it this way - if the user doesn't have javascript (enabled), then the form won't work.
