Great news! Did not know that.

Created the following example for anyone to use:

<form name="CC_Search" action="http://search.creativecommons.org";
method="get">
Search for: <input type="text" name="query"><br>
<input type="checkbox" name="comm" value="">use for commercial
purposes<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="deriv" value="">modify, adapt, or build
upon<br>
Which Search Engine:
<select name="engine">
<option value="google">google</option>
<option value="googleimg">googleimg</option>
<option value="flickr">flickr</option>
<option value="jamendo">jamendo</option>
<option value="spin">spin</option>
<option value="openclipart">openclipart</option>
<option value="wikimediacommons">wikimediacommons</option>
<option value="fotopedia">fotopedia</option>
<option value="europeana">europeana</option>
<option value="youtube">youtube</option>
<option value="pixabay">pixabay</option>
<option value="ccmixter">ccmixter</option>
<option value="soundcloud">soundcloud</option>
</select> <br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

works. :)
