That we can do. :-) Here are 36 perl scripts that The CGI Resource Index site lists for searching your own site: http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/ Searching/Searching_Your_Web_Site/ Note: The above URL is actually one continuous line and should be entered into your browser's address box as one line. Some cost money, but most seem to be for free. Let me suggest that the first one you try is Matt Wright's "Simple Search". I personally do not have experience with that particular script, but Matt Wright has a good reputation around the Net and his scripts are considered very stable and well written for most UNIX systems. http://www.worldwidemart.com/scripts/ http://www.worldwidemart.com/scripts/search.shtml Good luck. :-) Alan [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can set up a search form for searching for keywords within your own site. It would be an onsite search engine - allowing visitors to search for something in a complex web site. You can also place a search engine for searching the WWW in general. These latter search engines actually use search engine sites such as AltaVista and others. In either case, most sites use a CGI script for their search forms. There may be a javascript onsite search, but I presently am not aware of such. However, I have seen general WWW search forms that used javascript to search the web. Tell us what you want and we will find you scripts. Be aware though, that working with CGI scripts can be frustrating. That is why offsite CGI has become popular. With offsite scripts, the searching is done on your site, but the software or script running the search is located on a remote server. Alan [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm a her, and I know cleverness and ingenuity when I see it! RE:I sure got him or her fooled, huh? BG Seriously though, as we try to teach on this list, you do not have to know all the answers -- you just have to know how to find the answers. The better you get at that, the smarter everyone will think you are. :-) Alan I think Peace is in awe of your vast knowledge. :-)

Yes. I have one "What U Seek" which can be programmed to suit your requirements, colurs, size etc, It will search Your Site and/or the Web.. http://intra.whatuseek.com/?synd=boxchan=2 Pearl. Hi! I read about an internet service which allows you to add a "SEARCH BUTTON" to your web site, but apparently, the search is made from THEIR site. Are there software packages allowing you to have your own "Search Engine" on your own web site ? Thanks Fpjm
