site search – how

Hi

I want to add a ‘search site’ function to my site. Is it possible to do using ASP or PHP (I know nothing about cgi). I don’t want to add a Google pre-made thing either.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks

@chrismartzMar 31.2004 — you could go about the hard way and have a database with search terms in it and search the db....then you could show the results from the db....this would probably be alright but would require you making the links.

@buntineMar 31.2004 — Actually, a Database search system is the easy way.. The hard way would be to dynamically scan the contents of each page for certain keywords.

Both ASP and PHP can acheive this, though, its far from simple. But still quite [i]doable[/i]

@DaveSWApr 01.2004 — I use: http://php.warpedweb.net/sitesearch/

It indexes all the pages for you. I also have some tips on setting it up from pyro...
