I only wanted to search certain things within my site. So, I just stuck everything I wanted to search (EG - FAQs, Help, Contact, etc) into their respective tables and the field that the information was in, I used FULLTEXT and made a FULLTEXT key on that table (This is using MySQL). When I perform my search, MySQL does the leg work for me and returns everything searched in a ranking with Highest rank first.
If you want to get more technical and index all the pages of your site, you might want to look into htdig. (This is if you have control of your own server and can install software on it) On May 11, 2:27 pm, tawm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm preparing including an in-site search feature in my CakePHP-based > webapplication.
