What server-side programming are you using?
If you don't want to use a server side language to custom build a site search, use google's:

I dont know what my server is doing or using... but the (site search) is what I am aiming at
if you can point me to some source code or some kind of instruction, it'll me much appreciated.

The link that you show provides the source code that you need, along with clear and simple instructions. What else do you need, or what difficulty are you having with those instructions?

thanh1800, are you saying you like what google site search does, but want to custom develop one (as in not use the google service)?
If so, you'd need to:
1. Find out what server-side script your site uses
2. What dB (this doesn't matter much but helps in giving advise)
If you want to use the google service instead, can you explain what it is you need?

Yes I would like to custom develope one.
Well after some research i have decided to create my own search site using java script
It not great but it will have to do.
It will involve me index(ing) the website then using string functions (apend,replace,split,search) to process the search and result page.
I'll post the script when I am done.
But feel free to show me any other method
ps I dont know how to get the server info you requested (server-side script)
@johnwm
source code? can you copy and paste them into this thread please because I didnt see any.
ps source code to me is not just the interface.

Wow thanks GUJUm0deL
I will use this for now with your authorship on.
but I am still going to make my own.
javascript is easy for me and if I could I would do everything in javascript, but there are other technologies out there that I want to try out.

As you're posting in the web designers forum, rather than the javascript forum I assumed you wanted some code to put on your page to do the google search. If you are looking for a JS hand written solution, then use GUJUm0deL's FAQ, or ask further in forum216
