Does anyone know where i can find a script to run a search feature on my site? Basically, i want a script or code that will allow users to "search this site" for text? I know there's something out there like that. I just want them to be able to search my site for things/words, and not necessarily the web also, althought that would be nice!!
Does that make sense? can you help? Thanks.
P.S. I've downloaded this script, but don't understand the part of the instructions that say, "Just enter as many additional pages that that you want to search, then fill in the additional listings for each page". What does it mean by "listings"? Thanks so much!!
