HTML - Search Engine Robots

Hello all, I am looking to place a search engine within the my home page so as that visitors can search the sites content. the problem is that my website is a sub domain (from a free DNS provider)and having trawled the web I can only find HTML source code to search top level domains (for eg Googles Custom Search Engine....). I have tried Googles CSE on another site (*.co.uk) that I run and it works perfectly, but not with a subdomain.

I would be grateful if someone can tell me if this is possible and if possible where I can find the source code to insert into my home page so as that it can be searched thro' my site,

regards

Hey all,
New to the forum here, looks like a great place! Anyhow, need some help / direction. I've been given the task to create an intranet search engine at work, but the level of coding is a bit over my head, so any help would be much appreciated.

Long story short - I need to make a search with drop downs and I can't figure out how to make all three drop downs dictate what is searched for. Take a look at the two drop down set up KBB has for an idea of what I mean: http://www.kbb.com/kbb/NewCars/defau...=41&ModelId=23. I'm pretty sure this can all be done in HTML, but if I'm wrong tell me.

Can anyone help on this or atleast point me in the right direction? Thanks a bunch!
Steph

could someone tell me different techniques for proper SEO besides meta words and whatnot.

Thanks,
Tham.

Hello all,
In firefox i' using this code:
Code:

<a href="javascript:window.external.AddSearchProvider('http://localhost/tr.xml')"><strong><font color="#2E3436" size="3px">Search</font></strong></a>

This add search provider to browser.

tr.xml
Code:

<OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/">
<ShortName>search</ShortName>
<Description>search</Description>
<InputEncoding>UTF-8</InputEncoding>
<Image width="16" height="16" type="image/x-icon">http://localhost/favicon.png</Image>
<Url type="text/html" template="http://localhost?search={searchTerms}"></Url>
</OpenSearchDescription>

But it only work for firefox, i wanna do that for Opera, Chrome and IE.
Maybe someone would provide "good/working" script for that ?

i'm only new to website building, so i thought i'd start with a free template and have a play around and see how things work. i've got most of it happening, but i can't find any kind of script for an in-site search engine. there's the 'search' tab, but when you enter a word nothing happens. i've googled search engines and they all want you to pay by the month for it. is there anywhere i can get one for free? i only want a really basic one for about 6 web pages.

Any hints on how to implement a search engine for my site? It could be a ready engine or something. The more easier it is to program the better. I can barely code HTML now.

Hi, I have two test versions of my site:

1: http://www.monkeygambling.com/new%20...indexnew.shtml

2: http://www.monkeygambling.com/new%20...0working.shtml

However the search engine spider simulation doesn't see any text on (2)

Can anyone see why?

thanks

First off, this forum seems great! I've been stressing over this for a while now and hope someone can point me in the right direction... I'm not looking for a freebie, just some guiding light.

I'm making a homepage for myself, and to avoid visiting a thousand search engine sites individually I'd like to make my own drop down menu to search from.

I have it set up with a text box, drop down menu and a submit button... I'd like to be able to enter my text, select the search engine I'd like to use and then click submit and have a new window open with the search engine site and the search results (pretty much cut out the search engine main pages)...

Has anyone done this? Any info will be greatly appreciated... Thanks! Jim.

Another idea that I've had is to be able to select multiple search engine and have multiple windows open up... Save some time... Anyhow, Thanks so much...

Ive been trying to set up a search input type box where the only portion entered into the search is the actual string. The HTML code works great when using a Google search such as this simple code:


------
<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search">

<input type="text" name="q" size="31"
maxlength="255" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="Google Search" />

</form>
------

What im trying to do is use a search page such as the one on the apple discussion website. Issue comes up that i need it to specifically search criteria,. Exactly, ii would need it to use the search string criteria form the first code, then chose specific criteria on the actual site page. In the apple page example, i would need it to search say a specific forum from the drop down menu. I tried running a blank search and using that URL as my search site but it doesn't seem to work. It never search that specific forum.

ANY HELP ?

Hi guys,

Just wondering, I'm working on a new site and have been asked to put in a search bar, so people can search through the site. I've never done this before so I'm baffled! I suggested the google search bar but the owner would prefer just a standard blank one. How would I go about doing this?

Thanks

PS Sorry if this is in the wrong category but I'm not quite sure where it should go!

Hello all, I currently host my own website at home (work related) which is a sub domain of a free dynamic DNS provider- dyndns.com I am looking to place a search engine within the home page so as that visitors can search the sites content (technical).

Having trawled the web I can only find HTML source code for top level (from providers google, yahoo....) domains for eg. if my domain was mywebsite.com but in my case I require it so search htttp://"my website hostname".dyndns.org.

I would be grateful if someone can tell me if this is possible and if possible where I can find the source code to insert into my home page so as that it can be searched thro' my site,

regards

This maybe complicated or really easy, im a beginner lol...

But basically my website has tons of images and I want to tag them with specific terms somehow.
There should be a top row with 5 drop down columns. And each column describes a different attribute of the image.
Imagine the page populated with images and when you drop down a certain attribute only images with that attribute showup and if you drop down another column attribute, the page becomes filled with those images that fullfill the first and the second attribute, and so on and so forth.
Kind of like google images, especially the new one where the image just expands when clicked with information.

In the most basic sense, I want to create an image search engine for my website that searches based on tags on drop down boxes.

Thanks !!!!
