Put the values into input variables in the form and then they can be
displayed within the htdig templates through $(VAR) etc.  Although the
htdig manual doesn't explicitly say so any environment variable can be
displayed this way, no matter whether it arrived from the form or was
generated on the server eg by a wrapper script.

Here's a partial example:

search.html:
   <form method="get" action="/cgi-bin/htsearch.sh">
      Your name: <input type="text" size="40" name="USERNAME">

htsearch.sh:
   export REQUEST_TIMESTAMP=`date -u`
   $HTBINDIR/htsearch

header.html:
   <p>Search undertaken for $(USERNAME) on $(REQUEST_TIMESTAMP).</p>
