How do I add a search feature to my site?

You need to install a CGI script. There are some available at Matt's Script Archive and ScriptSearch.

How can I automatically redirect a surfer from one page to another?

This is called client pull and it's done with a special <META> tag:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="seconds; URL=NewPage">

Here, seconds is the number of seconds the browser waits before loading the page specified by NewPage. Here's an example:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="2; URL=http://www.mcfedries.com/">
