Adding search function to Website

[Gannon]

Hello Friends !!!
I want to create a search function , in my website just using a string of code. I don't need anything from or on the server? It should be such that if someone types in the textbox and click the search must result in a page that shows keywords and articles from the website? Also provide me the code if possible?

As far as the search code is concerned is concerned it is almost impossible to write it without using something on the server side, you could only write a java or a Javascript search. Moving on to the browsers compatibility the JavaScript searches can be limited, and also if you are using javascript you are on the verge of taking the age-old risk of crashing browsers and Operating Systems.

Here is a mixed form of code i took it from the scriptsearch.com ,however this site don't seems to monitor the submissions very well

Java: scriptsearch.internet.com/pages/l18c3c45.shtml

javascript: scriptsearch.internet.com/pages/l4c3c45.shtml

You can get it from these links

The basic logic required here is to be able to manipulate one of the variables which the Google search engine handles , called as sitesearch. Setthis variable to a null value and you're searching the entire World Wide Web, But if you specify or set its domain it will function as if you had typed in the Google special notation site:domain.

You will just need an input textfield and a corresponding submit button.

<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search">
<input type="text" name="q" size="35"
maxlength="255" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="Google Search" />
<input type="radio" name="sitesearch" value="" />
The Web
<input type="radio" name="sitesearch"
value="sitename.com" checked /> Ask Your Site<br />
</form>
