How to create a search box

[Alison556]

I've got google search for my entire site, but I want to have a search box on one web page - it's a glossary of terms and all I want is some way of users to search for a term instead of having to scroll through the entire page - kind of like the Ctrl F function - and I know they could just use that but not everybody will.

Can anyone point me in the direction of how to do it please?

You need a JavaScript page search. There are a few of them out there.

Javascript will work, but some prefer PHP, MySQL, or CGI methods to make it happen. If you're searching based on a series of terms you provide, JavaScript is probably the best way to go. If you want a deeper, more intuitive search, PHP or CGI are your best options. You may also be able to find some of these prebuilt functions on the web.
