Yes, and a simple google of "2 submit buttons on a form" resulted in a
ton of sample code.

You can only have one action, but you can have more than one submit
button. All buttons will use the sinlge action URL, but the script
at that URL can do different things depending on which button was
pressed.

As is readily done on many sites for numerous reasons.
Each button has a name, and hence, each action within the script refers to
that name, defining what each button will do.
Much like defining how each division will behave on a webpage with an ID or
class name and corresponding styles.
You might have 3 buttons and each button performs a different search.
The real trick with multiple buttons, is what happens when the user presses
enter instead.
