The PHP version of my site search script is two scripts in one because both a flat file and mySQL database versions are included along with a module to allow you to transfer easily from one to the other. The actual search facility searches the meta description and keyword tags from your pages which can be automatically added to the flat file or database by the admin spidering function. You can also manually add your own entries.

The script also supports manually adding entries into specific categories or subjects (which work slightly differently from one another). You can also add thumbnail images to the search result entries making it a workable solution for searching image galleries.

The latest version includes a search results page that is fully customisable to match the rest of your site since it uses a page template where you enter special tags that identify how the results are to be added into the page.

The more recent versions of Windows now have a Search option rather than a Find option but what it can do is still basically the same and so the techniques described in this article on how to find where Windows has saved the information you just changed will still work even if the option to access it now has a different name.

A couple of quick reviews for Christmas. This first one gives a one paragraph review of several of the different tools provided by Google.

One relatively small section of the “Ask Felgall” web site is the section where I have PHP scripts for sale (everything else on the site is “free”).

These PHP scripts will greatly enhance the functionality of any web site that supports PHP (and for a couple of them - mySQL) in return for a very small one off charge. You even get free access to any upgraded version of the script for a full twelve months after you purchase it.
