hello,

my request in detail for the search program is:

search code for query term to produce its link e.g: when the user write in the inbox search (internet) the program is searching in the database in the keyword ,title and description fields ..>if it is found the result is: URL which have the word (internt) ...>else the result is:sorry the word is not found
this is for one word...but for many word..

so i'm writing code take it from site ,but this code must change in order to become suitable for my request..

my tables in the database "search_engine_db" are :

1- web_page (have the columns "URL","title","description")
2- keyword (have the columns "URL","keyword")
3- link (have the columns "URL","link")

all of these tables are fulling by crawler program
