search facility

Hi!
I want to create a search form linked to a simple photogallery.

I am struggling how to do this.

I believe I need to use <FORM> and <FORM> but can someone advise me on the code that should go between these to facilitate the search?

A website or book title would be useful as I’ve search far and wide for a simple answer.

Thanks

Brian

@JPnycFeb 12.2006 — That's because there is no simple answer. Unless you have some scripting experience you probably don't have a realistic shot at writing a search script. Best bet is to google a prefab one, and the 1st thing you need to do is find out what serverside languages your web host supports.

@ppetersonFeb 14.2006 — On my web page I use the following form for my search page. This is part of the solution however. You will need to install the entropysearch script on your hosting. This is a simple point-and-click procedure in the configuration panel if you have Lunar Pages as a hosting provider.

[CODE]

<form action="/cgi-sys/entropysearch.cgi" name="form1">


<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="37%"><input type="text" name="query" size="6"></td>
<td width="63%"><input type="hidden" name="user" value="safety4">
<input type="hidden" name="basehref" value="http://safetymerchandise.com">
<input type="hidden" name="template" value="default">
<a href="javascript:document.form1.submit()" ><img name="search" src="../images/search.gif" width="52" height="25" border="0" alt=""></a></td>
</tr>
</table>

</form>
[/CODE]

So, if you sign up with Lunar Pages at the below link I will assist you in creating your search engine to seamlessly integrate with your site?!
