Now, I'll take you to the readme page so you have an idea as to what I'm working with. At first sight, it looks so ridiculously easy. That is why I am so puzzled about these problems I am having. <br /><a href="http://php.warpedweb.net/sitesearch/readme.html" target="_blank">PHP ReadMe</a><br />Step one can be skipped, so I did.<br />Step two I think is where the problems are occurring. (And I have no idea why.)<br /><br />I put the entire web site into a file that is located at c:\Abba Web Page<br />And, I put the script I downloaded for this searcher into a directory called searchsite under public_html. <br /><br />Perhaps I am missing something mundane, but if you wouldn't mind, could someone please point out the obvious to me? <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Hi,<br /><br />Boxturt is right on the ball here. C: is not used and gaps do not exist. Let us know if you still have problems<br /><br />Jim<!--content-->

"/home/<b>user</b>/public_html/AbbaWebPage";<br /><br />You need to change <b>user</b> to whatever user name was assigned to you when you opened your account. This info would be in your setup email from TCH.<br /><br />Seems like an ok script. I tried it out on a site. Just be careful about the text at the top of each web page that you index. For example - I have (had) a PayPal link with about 4 lines of text begging for donations. So when I got search results the description of each and every page was the "send me money" blurb and not the first 4 lines of page content<br /><br />-Ty.<!--content-->
