Is it possible to set query string from html input on submit?

Question

I have a serarch box on my website. The searchbox is a html inputbox, when i write somthing in the inputbox and submit i wish to get the input and insert it to my querystring. Normally when i do somthing like this i use the Eval option since i normally get the input from the serverside. Like this <a style="color: black" href="ProductInfo.aspx?id=<%# Eval("itemId") %>"> when i do like this the query string is equal to the id of the item i click.

but is it possible to do it the other way where i dont get info from serverside?

i have this inputbox.

<input runat="server" id="txtSearchInput" name="search" placeholder="GTIN, Brand or Article nr" />

it is for searcing. When i press enter i wish the input from this box stored in the query string and then get redirected to anotherpage so that i can use the input from the first page. If that makes sense?

The behaviour you describe is **what forms do** by default. What's the problem? — Quentin, Jan 04 '16 at 14:05
Is it a GET, or a POST form? Can you use JavaScript? Can you show some relevant HTML and explain what you'd like to see happen? — CodeCaster, Jan 04 '16 at 14:05

Put it in a form. Make sure the name attribute matches the name of the field you want in the query string.

<form action="ProductInfo.aspx">
    <label>GTIN, Brand or Article nr <input name="id"></label>
    <input type="submit">
</form>
