Best way to implement search function? 2

[frozenpeas]

Hi,

What is the best way to build a search function into a website? If a user wanted to search my website for "spoons", what is the best way to handle the query and results? What is actually queried to get results? In this scenario, imagine that my website has both static and dynamic content.

Thanks!

I would build or just use what other people have already built. Have a look at

Of course, if you have unlimited funds get yourself a google box (it really is yellow...)
