How about the following:

    <form action="[process]" method="POST">
        <input type="hidden" name="mv_todo" value="return">

        [L]Item code[/L]:
        <input type="text" name="mv_nextpage" value="">
        <input type="submit" value="[L]Go[/L]">
    </form>

Or, if you need some form of SKU validation, you could use something
like this:

    <form action="[process]" method="POST">
        <input type="hidden" name="mv_todo" value="return">
        <input type="hidden" name="mv_click" value="set_nextpage">

        [L]Item code[/L]:
        <input type="text" name="sku" value="">
        <input type="submit" value="[L]Go[/L]">
    </form>

    [set set_nextpage]
        [if type="data" term="products::sku::[cgi sku]"]
            mv_nextpage=[cgi sku]
        [else]
            mv_nextpage=invalid_sku
        [/else]
        [/if]
    [/set]
