Search Input functionality

Hi people, I have recently been making a website for computer services ( sales, warranty etc) and i would like to have a search facility on the website whereby a visitor can type a keyword and the results are displayed on a webpage. what technology can you suggest ( javascript, php, asp etc) and how i can arrive at the goal. Even source code will be good enough. please help.

There are a number of freely available search scripts, typically in php, out there.

Just Google for 'search script' and find one that suits your needs.

Growsearch is a practically free one (£1) that I've used recently that also produces a site map. Easily to install and configure.

FDSE is another one that looks pretty good. I've installed it on a site I'm working on at the moment but not had chance to thoroughly test it yet, but it's loooking promising. It's $4o for the registered version, but there's a free trial and freeware version.

If your containting all your data in a database (which is most likely for a php or asp site) then you can use SQL's built in search features
