Adding Search Facility

[tonymacca]

I am looking at adding a search facility onto my site, not to sure what is required, whether html or javascript is best.

Any help is much appreciated

Err... I doubt HTML or JavaScript will do the trick. In fact I'm almost positive they won't. Try posting this in a PHP area or some server-side language.

Do you mean a site wide search or something like this?
If you want a site wide search you should try this. It is not as nice as a PHP solution,but is much simpler

I wrote this in about 2 weeks, though I've improved it a good bit since. I also didn't have much experience with php.

Note: google also offers a tool to put a google search box on your site which you can set to "this site" or "entire web"... I'm sure you've seen that around. Might be the easiest way. Does rely on google, though, and it's apparent you're using google, and not something you made.

FrontPage 2003 (there may be other versions) let's you put a search on your website, but you have to have FrontPage Extensions Installed on your server.

Ah, I did check your link, but saw a DD script, and didn't connect that to google. Right.
