create a search engine

[allan16]

Can someone point me on how to create a search engine within a web page that I for example have created.
What are the tools that I need to have and what is best to use.

Thx

Hi Allan (nice name)
I think theres some sort of Javascript script out there for that
http://www.hotscripts.com/JavaScript...rch/index.html

Check out that link, hope thats what your looking for, but people seldomly have a search engine just for 1 page.
Generally you would require a search engine if you have some sort of database or millions of pages (not literally) but you get the idea.

Hope that helps!

Hi again Allan, (nice Name)

I've found another way you can do search on your website if your looking to expand it to more than one page.


<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search">
<input type="text" style="background-color:#BBFFF;" name="q" size="40" maxlength="255" value="" />
<input type="submit" name="btnG" value="SEARCH" />
<input type="hidden" name="domains" value="http://www.YOUR_URL.com" />
<input type="hidden" name="sitesearch" value="http://www.YOUR_URL.com" />
</form>

This uses the Google search engine to search through all your pages. An example of this in use can be found at http://www.techtorium.co.nz

Hope that helps someone!
