Can anyone help me? I'd like to know how to put a search facility on a website (only searching the site its on, not the web). Then clicking the results would take you to the relevant page within the site.

Is this complicated? What is a relatively quick way this can be achieved?

Thanks

By using a google site search you can do it quickly. But if you want this to be done right it is going to require you to use a server side language. Then if you store all of the cotnent in a data base you are going to need to search that. If you store it in a directory you are going to need to have the language parse the files for the strings the user searched for. It is going to require you to code stuff up custom. Do you have any of the following available: ASP, ASP.NET, PHP, JSP, COLD FUSION, CGI? Because you will need one of those.
