Check this site out

[url]http://www.atomz.com/[/url]

It is fully customisable and free if your site is under 500 pages and there
is a Dreamweaver extension available

Alternatively try [url]http://www.picosearch.com[/url] This is free up to about 1,500
pages

I'd like to provide a search facility on our website using php. Without the
use of a database. So I'd like it to search all the pages I put in a
array....

Any ideas? A tutorial?

Hi,

Have a look in PHP Classes
[url]http://ronbarnett.users.phpclasses.org/[/url]

I have a textfile database system that you can download from there

Go to the databases section and look for Class.DB.

You will be able to save your search array in a text file for later use.

if you really do want to search all the pages of your website for a string
you will need to keep a list of the pages you intend to search. This can be
within the search program or in a look up file that is used by the search.

Next you will need to open each page using a file read then parse for a hit,
keeping a note of the page if a hit is registered, finally returning the
list of pages with (possibly) a few lines or a simple digest of the page.

If your site is very large it could be a long and painful wait, made much
quicker by saving the results for the next searcher. Obviously you would
need to check for a pre-registered hit before commencing a new search.

That should give you a rough game plan for how to do it.

The other way is to check out Google. they have a site searcher that you can
bolt on. Look at [url]www.php.org[/url] and try the 'search site' option (top right) to
see it in action.

Cheers

Ron.

Hello,

At the moment our company are using the simpler search
facility on our windows 2003 server.
However they would 'like' a search facility that would
almost imitate the google engine.
I think this is impossible, however I have to ask.

What would be the closest solution?

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank You

Duncan Turner

I think DTSearch [1] should be evaluated as it can crawl and
index sites and does function like Google. You can also consider
Texis from Thunderstone [2] as it too is industrial strength
