Create a search on my website

Hi,

I am looking to have a search option on my site, but am not sure how to go
about it. I would like to have the option of searching the site for
keywords, and also a web wide search. I have looked at the Google version of
this, but I would rather have the results opened in my site, rather than
being redirected to Google.

If anyone has any ideas as to the way I should go about this, it would be
much appreciated.

...cross-post instead of multi-post. Your post in c.i.w.a.site-design is
probably the best place to look for answers.

You'd need to install search software at your web server. The actual type
of the software depends on your hosting platform, but chances are you will
be able to use either Perl or PHP scripts. For Perl I'll insert a
shameless plug - I have a script that you could use:

instead of Perl, check out hotscripts.com

Great. And only now do I realise that the OP was multi-posting.

Just something to be aware of...

Hi Gang, I wrote MSN Search into my ASP.NET 2.0 website and confugured it to search only my website so that, in effect, it is a local search utility. I published the website back in September. It took until last month for my website to get indexed. The problem is that search results are returned only for the default page. If I change the website to be searched to some other site, results come back for all pages.
