There are several ways you can do this. One way would be to look at
Integration New Media's V12 DBE xtra. They have a 'spider' that will
generate a database with all your text and allow the user to search.

You could also set up a database manually and write a search behavior.

hi

i am creating a search menu
the user can select from a drop down box whether they want to select by movie
or actor. then they can enter there search in the text field.

at the moment all the results are showing, how do i make it so it searches the
search criteria for that particular item they select from the drop down menu.

also how can i make it so users dont have to search by typing the exact word

You need to filter your database on the results page. Say you have 2 form
fields, 1 text box named searchterm and one dropdown with the choices of
movie and actor named category. On the results page your query should look
something like this,

SELECT fields
FROM table
WHERE field LIKE '%varsearchterm%' AND catfield = 'varcategory'

Then setup your parameters like this,

varsearchterm 0 Request.Form("searchterm")
varcategory 0 Request.Form("category")

Change Request.Form to Request.Querystring if you are using GET instead of
POST.

HTH,
Drew

I have always used Atomz search, but this customer does not want sponsored
links. What is some good software for site searches for both static pages
and dynamic ones. I don't mind paying for this software if its a good
product. Thanks for your help.
