Web Pages info: Searching

Are you using a package to build the web site? If so, that package may have a search add on.

 

Google has a free search engine that you can add to your site.

Problem is, your site has to be indexed on Google, which could take weeks.

I can't remember if FP 2000 has the search "web component" or not but 2003 does.

Here is an example:

The search box you see was added via one of the FP 2003 menus. This particular seacrh function will only search the web site that it is on so if you want to add a web search, you'll need something else.

I suspect most of the popular development packages has a similar function to FP.

 

You can also just go to make new page and there is a template for a search page on there and then you can take it and edit it to how ever you want or just copy and past the component into your page.

 

Are you making a HUGE-O site, or just ONE PAGE with laods of info? If the latter is your response, then the dudes above have the right track.

If you're making a HUGE-O site, there are free search engines or the Google search as suggested by codell.

Try looking at http://www.scriptarchive.com/ 's free simple search engine written in PERL for CGI. I've used this last one, but it also searches NON-LINKED files on the disks where the script is.
