Hi everyone:

This is my first-time post. I want to know how to develop a search engine in my site. I don't have mysql and do not want to install. I would like to know how can I make a search by word in my site. It has 4 levels (directories) for searching. Please help.

Thanx!

To tell you the truth.. Are you seriously needing this function

If you have a small site.. This will take ages.. To use when its operational..

As text files slow your site down...

If i were you try using mysql... if you dont have it on your host.. you should get another host...

Text files are good for small things.. A search Engine isnt small. Its quite big.. And 10people using this at the same time will be a disaster....

I'm not sure about your programming abilities, but if you don't want to try to use PHP or MySQL in your site, I might recommend an alternative:

http://www.searchmakerpro.com/

What it does is index your entire site (compiling every word on every page of your site), then writes the html code for you and allows you to drop it in whatever pages of your site you want. Very easy to use, nice GUI.

Not rocket science, and certainly not the most efficient way to create a search engine for your site, but it gets the job done.

Yes that thing sounds great but the worse thing is.. When making new Pages you must add that to...

Im not sure if you update a file.. Whether you must update the link or what have you...

But i seriously think.. Even if your not even great at PHP to still give this ago...
