Hi everybody!!

Here me again!!!

I want to keep a search option for a website, which will deliver the data only within that website.

This website's main options are clients, services & different projects.

Can you people give me any idea???


Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Is your content kept in a database, or files, or static pages? For each case, you can certainly build your own serach engine...Google will even allow you to search only your site (see the top corner of this site). What type of site do you have? Do you want to program your own search, or use a pre built one?

[Wizzy]

A good way to create a search engine like so, would be open a connection to the site and search for a filename with the search, if it exists it shows the page, else shows an error. I am sure you could do. lol and what's with 'you people'. We are coders just like you.

Oh! yea Amadeus, i want to make a search option just like that.

i am using one database & some tables for the website like aa_db & client, service, projects & so so.

Would you please tell me how can i make it???


And sorry Wizzy!! if you feel bad of my using 'you people'. I am just a novice not in your level so......

[Wizzy]

You soon could know as much as me, I only remember it because I frequently use the computer programming a web game. Its so much fun being a student

Amadeus was telling you to use the google site search...find it here

Reminds me a bit of the php.net search, maybe they use a GET on their index to process that site search they have. Otherwise it would have to be a script perhaps not even in PHP.

We actually use a SOAP interface with the Google Search API.

[Wizzy]

Well there is no need to lol.

[skyhawk133]

Why is there no need?

Using the Google Search API and SOAP allows me to control exactly how and what appears in the search results. It also allows me to control the layout and design of the results.

Plus... no advertisements.

[Wizzy]

Ahh, i see what you mean, sorry I take it back

[chitara]

no no i don't want to use this type of search option in the website!!! I tried your right corner search option & its output is great. Is those coming from any database??

May be i failed to make you understand. Actually i want to get the result will be limited only with the contents of that website not beyond that.

So i think this (google) search module will not work on that way.

i know there is a way by creating the index. I've tried with that but the output is horrible. it shows all the files name(path) with the hyperlink of the website.

So now, can you please tell me is there any alternative way????

Hi Skyhawk133!!

if i m not wrong 'Search Our 100,000+ Pages:' option is using Google Search API and SOAP that u inform me earlier.

Oh yea i want this type of search option for the website.

Please tell me how can i make it.

I have visited the google search link option that you mentioned. But it doesn't fulfill my requirement.


Please I need your help. And let me inform you one thing i don't have any idea of API and SOAP activities.

lol you didn't put any effort in to search for it, it come up at the top of google...have a look here

[chitara]

Dear Wizzy!

I have already gone through the google API that you have mentioned.

Also download the nusoap.php file the search file.

When i run the file it gives the following message>>>

**[
Sorry, no results were found on this site for bat. Occasionally no results will be returned when there are problems with the link between this site and Google. If you believe the information is on the site but it tells you that it's not, please try again.
]**

my folder path is http://locathost/web...arch/search.php

In this case i m totally feeling helpless. thats why i m asking for your help.

It appears as if you're 'website' is actually on a local machine...is that the case? I may be wrong, but I belive to successfully use the google API, your site would have to be live...on the internet, as it were, not simply a local machine. Shyhawk, perhaps you can confirm this?

[skyhawk133]

Yes, this is correct, since you are relying on what google has spidered/crawled your site must be online and already being crawled by google. You can check to see what google has crawled by going to www.google.com and typing site:yourdomain.com
