I want to create a simple "search site box" that would take the keyword entered in the box and link it to the sub directory of the same name.

For example, if the word "blue" was entered into the box, it would link to the URL-- www.mysite.com/blue

I know Dreamweaver pretty well, but I'm kind of a newbie in the CGI, Perl world. Do I need to know these languages to do something like this? Is it possible to download a standard search script that would do the same thing? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

You could check out atomz.com, or look for the atomz extension on the Dreamweaver Exchange on Macromedia's site.
