Search Forms

Jan 06.2010

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if any of you know the best way to code a search form for a website. I am creating this from scratch and while my CSS and HTML is strong, coding such as PHP and Javascript is still part of my learning process. Do any of you have any ideas of the most efficient way to code this type of form?

Thank you.

Google's probably the best, but it's not cheap.

It also works for non-static content. That's what the Spider Mode is for (crawls pages from your web server).

This is a good review with more info:
