Create a search on my website

[Paul Morrison]

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.

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...
