"Searchable Databases????"

or summat like that??

I would like to know how to make a website searchable so I could put a search box on it....or even better, a members page or something like that.

But the Search thing is more important. Because I would like to know so I can put it on...in say a month. As I will soon have lots more things on my website.

So is it something to do with sorting them into folders or on Excel???

Can someone please help me out??

The javascript solution looks good, does it work in most browsers?

As for searching an actual database, if you want a quick example in ASP, go here...

Gives you an example + you can download the code. I suspect if you are using a Freeola account for this that you will not be able to use ASP as they seem to be PHP based.

I've got some code that'll do the job written in javascript. You just have a long list of keywords that appear on each page and an input box. When you type a word into the input box, it'll search through the lists of keywords and return the pages. No databases, just arrays of keywords.

ie.

pageX.htm
pageY.htm
pageZ.htm

searching for 'sql' will return pageX.htm and pageY.htm

Is that the sort of thing you mean?

I would think that javascript would be needed for that. I don't know a lot about webpage creation but It does sound like a problem that requires a program to do it like java.
