search engine script

I'm looking for a search engine script that I can add to my web site so others can search through my site.

Any ideas?

If Google has crawled your site, you can put a form on your site that takes a keyword and plugs it into http://www.google.com/search?q=keywo...rsite.com&l=en

If the site has a database which holds the content, you could easily write one. SQL:

SELECT * FROM table WHERE content = '%search%';

Or something along those lines Otherwise, you'd probably need to write a Perl/Python/Other bot to crawl and store the info in a DB, then do something similar. Or just do as Emily said, but there's no fun in using Google now, is there?

you actually typed that query wrong, it would actually be,

SELECT * FROM table WERE content LIKE '%search%'

and % means wildcard, so AsearchA will match, but if u put 'search%', then it would not work, but seachA would, you get it...

well that 1 word was the difference between having a seach script, or just finding something where the content is only the word %search%

Yes. Then, we move into this phase us programmers like to call "debugging" - ever hear about it?
