Search page

Hi,

i am developing a search page, basically using datagrid.
i have given a column as hyperlink so that when the user clicks on it, it
gives the details of the selected item in a seperate page.

But i want to add a feature so that it saves the search results. for example
even after seeing an item the user should be able to still view the search
results so that he may view another item.

i am finding it hard to develop such an application. so i am looking forward
for some ideas and if possible some examples so that i get a fair idea as
how to implemet it.
any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

thanks,

Hi Sriram,

I think the easiest method would be to set up the links in your DataGrid so
they open in a new window. That way, when the user clicks on a search
result, they will see it in a new browser window, keeping the original
window with the search results unchanged.

Good luck!

Sriram,

Another choice, if your links are for data on your own site, would be to
display the link item in a user control and place that control above or
below the original search.

That way the search results would still be available to the user. I'm doing
something similar with my code library. I have a datagrid of each of the
entries which displays five entry titles at a time. When a user clicks the
link for one of the entries the entry is displayed below the grid. Keeping
the datagrid limited to five entries keeps the entry display above the fold
so the user sees it immediately.

Sincerely,

A year or two back I needed a search script to scan thru HTML files on a client site. Usual sorta thing. A quick search turned up a neat script that provided great search results. It was fast, returned the hyperlinked page title, filename, and the body txt (30 preceding and following words) in context with the search word highlighted. Excellent.! See it working at: http://www.ipt.co.za Just search for "firearm"

Hello, I have set this script up to add paging to a search results page. Which on the first page works fine. I calculates how many pages there should be depending on the number of results returned from my search and how many records I have set it to display per page. All great so far, HOWEVER..... When you click the next link to see the next 10 results on the next page, it just dumps the search details and pulls up all the records in the...

Hi, Anyone has the background for explaining? I have made a search on my name and I have got a link to another search engine. The link's title was the search phrase for the other search engine (a wicked phrase). Some but not all of the words of that phrase exist in my website. I reported it and they removed the link but did not give explanations.

Hello, i am relatively new to PHP and i am struggling with printing multiple search results on to different pages. The code below works ok but when you click on next page button, it brings up a blank screen. I think it might have something to do with resetting the $found variable. Can you have a quick look? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. <? if ($_GET) $vars=$_GET; else $vars=$_POST; $found = $vars;
