i would like to have a search engine (somehow run by my page, not an outside service) that i can use on my page. anybody have suggestions on what it is i need to look into to do this? i havent been able to find websites that tell me how to do it myself... just a lot of sites that will index my pages for me, but they put their logo on it.<br />
<br />
any suggestions on where to look? what code i should use? is this a stupid thing for me to want to do? <br />
<br />
my site is <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.carpenoctem.tv">www.carpenoctem.tv</a><!-- w --> let me know what you think....<!--content-->if your host supports php or asp you can Download <!--more--> zillions of searchengine scripts from <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.hotscripts.com">www.hotscripts.com</a><!-- w --><br />
<br />
hf =)<!--content-->i didnt find any code on the page that would allow me to host the search engine personally..... basically just a lot of services that will do it for me, and put their logo on the stuff people on my site are lookin for.<br />
<br />
i just want to put a box at the bottom of each page, and if somebody wants to search for a certain word, then it will show all of the webpages that have that word mentioned.<br />
<br />
i know that it probably isnt an easy task to do.... does anybody out there know of any specific code that i can use to create this? i am sure that i will have to create some sort of set of key words for each page on my site..... <br />
<br />
any suggestions????<br />

<br />
for example.<br />
<br />
the page that i have about the JFK assassination, mentions robert kennedy. so i want to make it so that somebody can search for all of the pages on my site, that link to robert kennedy. of course i want to broden it much more than that.... but it is basically just a straight search for html pages.<!--content-->Originally posted by scoutt <br />

that is why I saiod that<!--content-->is it pretty much just pointless for me to want to do this myself? should i just get a service to do it for me?<!--content-->if you want to pay for it go ahead.<!--content-->how difficult is it for me to do myself?<br />
<br />
i found a free one that will index my pages... the only problem that i have with it... is it has their own logo on it...<br />
<br />
<br />
you can see a test result if you goto<br />

<br />
at the bottom of the page is a serach bar....<br />
<br />
is there a way to do just about what they did on my site without their help?<!--content-->if you don't know programming then it will be hard. so all you are doing is searching the names of the files? not what is in them?<br />
<br />
but if that is all you have to worry about is the iamge, then heck who cares. it works fine and it looks like it is your site, so go with that.<br />
<br />
It will be easier to put up with that then to make your own.<!--content-->You can include a special link to Google on your site, such that Google will only search within your site. They have example code for this within their help section.<!--content-->Problem.. YES ! I know the problem. I have been looking for an on site search for over two years.<br />
<br />
I have concluded that the best free option is from <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.atoms.com">www.atoms.com</a><!-- w --> . . it has a limit of 500 pages.<br />
<br />
If anyone knows of a 'workable' search that can be installed that will handle several thousand pages. . LET ME KNOW ALSO.<br />
<br />
Tubby<!--content-->i am using atomz.com now... so far i like it....<!--content-->there are 2 GOOD solutions for your problem, if you wish to do it in a good way.<br />
<br />
1. Find a (perhaps free) program that can do a index on directory's for you, or contact your website administrator if they perhaps already have one running. This way you can keep your site in html.<br />
<br />
2. Convert your site to php or asp, and add the 150 pages of content as much as possible to a database wich is understood by either php or asp. This way you CAN use a script which does searches on whatever you like.<br />
<br />
I've tried both, since im administrating the webserver at my work, and in my expierence the second option is not only WAY cheaper, but also more easily customizable.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps.<br />
What you are doing is looking at it from a too small point of view. If you wish to search for anything possible on your site your site will need to be index or should be in a database.<br />
