@BigMoosieJun 20.2005 — No JavaScript is required to take you to the address, but once there some kind of server side script must execute to perform the search.

Solution to 1, however this will add a [FONT=Courier New]q=[/FONT] before the search term:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<HTML lang="en">
<HEAD>
<TITLE>HTML</title>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<FORM action="http://www.google.com/search" method="GET">
<DIV>
<INPUT type="text" name="q">
<INPUT type="submit" value="Search">
</DIV>
</FORM>

</BODY>
</HTML>

@woNTarauthorJun 21.2005 — [B]BigMoosie[/B] thanks! But how can I do without q=?
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@BigMoosieJun 21.2005 — What use would it be without the q= ? You can make it what ever you want. hello=, search=, but to do it without that will require javascript.

Or there is the possiblility of modifying the string once it reaches the server. What are server coding are you using?

I have a website and I want to put a search engine to it. This script I can put only in a page apart, but I want to put a link on main page, to be on main page a field text and a button, and clicking on button to get this page. This search engine is searching like this http://mypage.com/search.html?thewordIwriteintextfield, if this page is named search.html. Who can do what I want? please write me the code because I don't now nothing Javascript, just a little of html code (sorry for my English)

@BigMoosieJun 22.2005 — Since it is a JavaScipt search engine I guess the solution can be javaScript, but bear in mind that this is not a very adequate search, 10% of people wont be able to use it as they browse without javaScript enabled:

<i>
</i>&lt;FORM name="myForm"&gt;
&lt;INPUT name="terms" type="text"&gt;&lt;INPUT type="submit" value="Search"&gt;
&lt;/FORM&gt;
&lt;SCRIPT type="text/javascript"&gt;
&lt;!--
var subject=document.forms.myForm;
subject.onsubmit=function(){
window.location.href="http://www.apple.com/?"+subject.terms.value;
return false;
}
//--&gt;
&lt;/SCRIPT&gt;

@woNTarauthorJun 22.2005 — [B]BigMoosie[/B] what is the best solution to make a search engine? in Javascript or PHP?
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@BigMoosieJun 22.2005 — PHP for sure. JavaScript has to send the data of every page to the user then search which is very bad. PHP will do this before it gets to the user so no matter what machine they are using it will work. If your site is large then you might need to use it in conjunction with a database as looking at all your pages on each search might use up a lot of resources and be slow. You would make it automatically update the database every time you modified a page.

@woNTarauthorJun 22.2005 — [B]BigMoosie[/B] thanks one more time. Do you have such a search engine in php? a small-made one?
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@BigMoosieJun 23.2005 — No, shouldnt be too hard to search for.
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@woNTarauthorJun 23.2005 — ok, thanks for all [B]BigMoosie[/B]
