HTML - Search Box With Multiple Search Engines.
Hi, I want to make a search box on my website. The thing is that I would like the search bar to be able to search on multiple search engines. For example I can type a movie in the search field and then I can select if I want to search for the movie either on google or on IMDb.
I want it to look like this: http://subtext.no/kjartan/charlie/searchbox.png If anyone could help me get this kind of searchbox it would be great. Thanks in reaply. Similar Tutorialshey i made a site for someone and they dont want a certain page to come up on search engines.... how can i stop this ? i deleted the meta tags and title tags but it still come sup in the search engine. Im wondering if anybody knows how to insert your web site into all the popular search engines? Is their a program?? Or do you hjave to go to each search engine manually? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Hi All, I'm not a coder but am looking to put a particular RSS feed on my website for SEO. I know that part of what's below is JavaScript and part is HTML but I don't know what's what. I know that JavaScript is not search engine friendly in these circumstances so I want to stay away from it if it can't be read. Can someone please tell me if the content that will display in the feed of this script is readable? Thanks! <div style="border-style: dotted;border-width: 1;border-color: #660000;width: 370px;height: 680px;overflow: auto;"><div id="newsblock21159733" style="word-wrap: break-word; padding: 5px; background-color: #FFFDE2;"> <!-- DO NOT ALTER, REMOVE, OR IN ANY WAY TRY TO HIDE THE FOLLOWING TAG OR ITS CONTENTS OR BLASTCASTA WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. --><div align="center" style="font-size: 8pt;"><br /><a href="http://www.blastcasta.com/" style="text-decoration: none; color: #336633;" target="_top"><b>News Widgets & Tickers</b><br />Powered by BlastCasta</a></div> </div></div> <script id="scrnewsblock21159733" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ setTimeout('document.getElementById(\'scrnewsblock21159733\').src = (document.location.protocol == \'https:\' ? \'https\' : \'http\') + \'://www.poweringnews.com/newsjavascript.aspx?feedurl=http%3A//www.thenews.pl/rss/&maxitems=-1&showfeedtitle=1&showtitle=1&showdate=1&showsummary=1&showauthor=0&showactionsbox=0&showrsslink=0 &s howcopyright=1&opennewwindow=1&inheritstyles=0&bgcolor=%23FFFDE2&titlefontsize=9&summaryfontsize=8&f ontfamily=Arial%2CHelvetica&titlecolor=%23336633&summarycolor=%23003366&objectid=newsblock21159733\' ', 500); /* ]]> */ </script> I followed this guide he http://googlewebmastercentral.blogsp...scription.html My site: www.designjetpartsfast.com My code (Important part in red): Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>HP DesignJet Parts FAST!</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.7.1.min"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="browser-detection.js"></script> <LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" href="/favicon.ico"> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> <!-- @import url("main.css"); @import url("browser-detection.css"); --> </style> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="Tue, 04 Dec 1993 21:29:02 GMT"> <meta name="DESCRIPTION" content="Shop and receive HP DesignJet parts FAST!

I have heard Google takes at least 6 hours to propagate any changes in the index.html, but it's been about 12 hours now and nothing has changed. Here is what Google displays: (see attachment) As you can tell from the attachment, it's retrieving text from the body of my index file. This is NOT what I want. It needs to read from the meta description instead. I have a particular page on my website that I DO NOT want to be spidered by search engines. I have done research and read about the following META tag code: I see that there are basic tags and then there are separate tags for MSN, AOL, and other sites in general. I guess there is no way to prevent every search engine from finding you but does too many meta tags cause confusion or just do their job? This is what I have: <meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX"> <meta name="robots" content="noarchive"> <meta name="googlebot" content="noarchive"> <meta name="robots" content="noarchive"> <meta name="msnbot" content="nocache"> Hi. I have a problem I cant seem to fix. On my page i have a javascript dropdown menu which i dont want search engines to read because it is very big. It consists of 434 links. Is there a way for me to exclude it from search engines? Thx in advance. Hello. When you do a search for my company which is Nikki Vain, the title and description shows up as [FLASH] Title NAME*: EMAIL*: MESSAGE*: File Format: Shockwave Flash Title NAME*: EMAIL*: MESSAGE*: nikkivain.com/flash/main_v8.sw I went in to my ftp and changed the index.html so this would not happen at www.nikkivain.com and it is fine there. I am so confused Thanks for the help in advance How can I prevent search engines from indexing a paragraph? I know that with <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX"> you can prevent search engines from indexing a page. But I just want to stop them from indexing one paragraph in a page, not the whole page. For example, this scenario: 1. My page contains the text "giraffes in corduroys" 2. somebody googles that text - either as a phrase or just the words 3. google points them to my page 4. the user clicks to go to my page... Is there any way to determine that it was the text "giraffes in corduroys" which brought them to my page? Would the crux be getting the previous URL in the browser history? I am trying to create a FORM with multiple option radio buttons. Basically this is a ready script I found on the internet. I have tried to customize it but there is a slight problem which I have been unable to fix after a lot of tries. In the below code, I am trying to open the following URLs on submit. http://www.pixmac.com/pictures/"searchterms"?a=kcalpesh http://www.crestock.com/image-keyword/"searchterms".aspx/112582/ In both the URLs the "searchterms" is dynamic and will be picked from the input box present in the form. PROBLEM PART! On submission, the URL that opens is only up to http://www.pixmac.com/pictures/"searchterms" and the affiliate ID after that gets missed. Same with the other URL on submission, the URL that opens is http://www.crestock.com/image-keyword/"searchterms" and again the affiliate ID gets missed out. Below is the complete page code for the FORM. Any help will be highly appreciated.

I don't have access to any kind of server side scripting. The file I am making has to be able to run on a desktop other than the scripting for the search functions. I have a few sites that I am incorporating their search function into the HTML doc. It's a time saver but I am only having 1 hiccup. The design. I was not aware on how to incorporate into a radio button and/or drop down to search each site separately. Some of them require hidden fields that make this a challenge anyhow. I'm not sure how to design the page in order to make this work fluently. I currently have a top frame with the navigation bar and the bottom frame as the main window. When a user clicks the link, it will load another top frame doc with the nav bar and a search window for that site clicked on. So when the user types in the information, it submits it to the site and shows the results on the main frame. If they click another link, it displays a search box for that site, and same thing. However, I was wondering if there was a cleaner way of doing this? I am really interested in keeping a navigation bar but it looks cluttered with a search bar. I'm having to create a separate page for each search bar and add the navigation bar to each one. Then if something changes with the nav bar, I have to go back and fix each page. I'd really be happy to only need one nav bar. My goal would be to figure a way to keep a navigation bar, clean up the page, and keep each search function handy. I could create a 3rd frame but I think it would feel more cluttered. Here is the menu bar. Of course, this is just an example. "Form" is name of top frame. Code: <ul class="menu"> <li><a href="choose.htm" class="active"><Span>Home</span></a></li> <li><a href="Tool.htm" target="form" onClick="top.body.location='www.example.com/sitewheresearchislocated';"><Span> etc.... </ul> And here is the frame page. Code: <frameset rows="80, 1*"> <frame frameborder=0 scrolling="no" noresize="noresize" src="choose.htm" name="form" framespacing="0" border="0"> <frame frameborder=0 noresize="noresize" src="main.htm" name="body" framespacing="0" border="0"> </frameset> Hi...not sure if this is the proper place to post this or not. I'm trying to do two things...first: I'm trying to set up a search box in frame 1 that will search, scroll to and highlight text in frame 2. Is this possible? I've been searching around for days looking for answers, and have so far come up short. I managed to create a search box in frame 1 that reloads frame 2, but that's not really what I'm after. ---------------------------- Now for the second thing I'm looking to do (along the same lines): I want to click a link in frame 1 that scrolls to a target in frame 2 and highlights it. The target is a word in the middle of a paragraph. Any help would be appreciated. I'm pretty green, so treat me like a beginner. Thanks so much! Hi, I am wanting to impliment a feature where I can install a search box on my website that will search anothers content. Basically I have two sites, one has thousands of sound effects on it, the other is more of a portal site. On the portal site I want to add a search box that will link into the other sites database so that the user would navigate away from the portal site and be taken to the stabndard search results page of the main site based on thier queory. Is there any code that anyone knows of to do this? Thanks all! Hi all, I have a query regarding HTML Radio Buttons. On a site I have created I am use radio button to allow visitors to search fot various files. Below is the code I have used. <input type="radio" name="searchIndex" value="HMD01"/> The "HMD01" is a field in my database. The user types in txt into a textbox and when they click a search button a function checks the "HMD01" field to see if any data matches what was in the textbox and displays the results if there are matches. What I am trying to do is that if the search found no matches in that field that it would search another field in the database to find a match. I thought the code would be something like the code below but that did not work. <input type="radio" name="searchIndex" value="HMD01, PRD03"/> The "PRD03" field contains the same type of information as "HMD01" but is stored in a different table. I want to be able to search "HMD01" for a match then search "PRD03" with the same parameters. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Towsie The tutorial on how to make a search form with multiple search options was excellent! http://www.mediacollege.com/internet...ti-search.html However, is it possible to use radio buttons instead of a drop-down list? Can someone be kind enough to show me the code for it? Million thanks. I'm trying to have my search box and search button aligned but I can't seem to get it working. Whenever I try to move one vertically, both of them end up moving and I'm all out of ideas. Here is the code: Code: <script src="http://supportforms.epnet.com/eit/scripts/ebscohostsearch.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <form action="" method="post" onsubmit="return ebscoHostSearchGo(this);"><input id="ebscohostwindow" name="ebscohostwindow" type="hidden" value="1" /> <input id="ebscohosturl" name="ebscohosturl" type="hidden" value="http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&site=ehost-live&scope=site&type=1&custid=S6281220&groupid=Main&profid=EDS&mode=bool&cli0=FR&clv0=Y&cli1=RV&clv1=Y&cli2=PT82&clv2=(PT+Academic+Journal+or+PT+Periodical+or+PT+Trade+Publication)%7e(PT+Book+or+PT+Almanac+or+PT+ebook+or+PT+audiobook)%7e(PT+Newspaper+or+PT+NEWSP+or+PT+Newswire+or+PT+WIRES)&lang=en&authtype=guest" /> <input id="ebscohostsearchsrc" name="ebscohostsearchsrc" type="hidden" value="url" /> <input id="ebscohostsearchmode" name="ebscohostsearchmode" type="hidden" value="+" /> <input id="ebscohostkeywords" name="ebscohostkeywords" type="hidden" value="" /> <div style="background-image: url('http://i.imgur.com/Wjilo.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; width: 900px; height: 600px; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; color: #353535;"> <div style="padding-top: 249px; padding-left: 70px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;" ></span> <div> <input id="ebscohostsearchtext" name="ebscohostsearchtext" type="text" size="23" style="font-size: 16pt; padding-right: 340px; height: 50px;"> <button type="submit" style="border: 0; background: transparent;"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/nYPoa.png" width="145" hspace="25" alt="submit" /> </div> </div> </div> </form> I'm using IE8 to test Hi, I'm trying to add a google search box (in a table) to my web page, but for some reason it the input button links to the page I am currently on. The strange part is that I put the same exact code in another cell right next to the other google search box and that one works wonderfully while the first one still links to the current page. It is the same with any search engine (yahoo, bing, ask), the first search box links to the current page and the rest work great. Here is the code I use: Code: <form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search"> <input style="width:140px" type="text" name="q" size="31" maxlength="255" value="" /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Google Search" /> </form> I've designed a search bar in Photoshop (well a whole site, it's all sliced up). But how do I make the box actually search my website? I can provide a printscreen of my site and (or) the HTML code. Thanks in advance. |
