Site Search Engine

[dblue07]

Hi Forum,
I am looking to create a search engine for a website that can search for keywords and bring up various URL links that are mapped to the keywords.

Can someone help with the steps I would need to take to accomplish this or point me to some good web resources?

Thanks
Dblue

What programming language/database are you using? Or, are you looking for a JavaScript based search engine?

If wanting to use a JS based search engine, take a look at this: faq216-1332

If wanting to use a database based search engine prove some additional info like what language, dB, criteria so we can make some recommendations.

Thanks GUJUm0deL, a JavaScript method would be better suited in my case

If I wanted to use a mysql db is it difficult to compose a search engine?

If your site is being indexed by Google, you might also consider using a google search box - have a look at

Hi

To create your own site search engine, I would suggest to read "Roll Your Own Search Engine" and analyse TipueJS. Of course, you are free to read anything else, I suggested those two because I fould them easy to understand.
