New to search codes,
Any help would be appreciated,
Looking for a free insite directory search code and search script
Thanks in advance,

What exactly do you want to search?

Hhhmmm, I think he's talkin about searching a php coded directory script... Not sure though :P. A lil more info would be nice backlasher55.

Put a Google search on your site. You could monetize it and give the visitor the ability to search your site.

What I'm looking for is an directory search for my own site
Yes I guess it would be a PHP coded script
I'm wanting to search keywords for material on my site
I'm not up on it enough to make one myself and would really appreciate any help
Not even sure how to apply it
Thanks

Are you saying you want to search things such as file names or content in the files?

Elaborate on "directory search."

 

[backlasher55]

I guess it would be termed a directory search of file names
Sorry but I'm very new to search information

 

[Dan]

example name: search.php

<?php

$dir = "./"; // Directory path

$search = $_POST['search'];
if ($search) {
	$d = dir($dir);
	while (false !== ($entry = $d->read())) {
		if (strpos($entry, $search) === false) {} else
		echo $entry."<br />";
	}
	$d->close();
}

?>
<form action="" method="post">
	<input type="text" name="search" value="" /> <input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>

I still don't really know what you want to do, but that searches the file names in the folder.

What I'm doing is wanting to build a directory of sites on the net and be able to search for the (keywords or names)links after they have added theirselves to the directory, each site will of course first be approved to be added to the directory list in certain categories.
Similar to many of the directorys you already see on the net.

So you're looking for this.

That's what I thought lol.

backlasher55, there are free web directory scripts available for download that include a search function already .

The one suggested by Dan would be ideal.

Unless you're suggesting that you have custom coded a web directory, and would like to add a search function to it now?
