On-site search engine

Nulty

Hey,

I scanned the search engine for how to build a search engine on your own site, for your own site.

I'm not trying to do it right now my self but I'm just wondering what's used to do it?

I dont mean search a database, I just mean search html

if your looking for something quick and easy,
Use a Google search box by a form works very well
It will search your site then return the results on a Google Search Results page

Option 1.

<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search">
<input type="text"   name="q" size="31"
 maxlength="255" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="Google Search" />
<input type="radio"  name="sitesearch" value="" />
 The Web
<input type="radio"  name="sitesearch"
 value="mysite.com" checked /> search my site<br />
</form>

Option 2.

<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search">
<div style="border:1px solid black;padding:4px;width:20em;">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr><td>
<input type="text"   name="q" size="25"
 maxlength="255" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="Google Search" /></td></tr>
<tr><td align="center" style="font-size:75%">
<input type="checkbox"  name="sitesearch"
 value="mysite.com" checked /> only search mysite<br />
</td></tr></table>
</div>
</form>

Nice one pablo. Does that search <objects> and alt text?
