HTML - Website Search Engine

I like to use drop down menus and other forms of navigation. I have heard that BOTs from search engines can't navigate through them. My question is if I were to keep these drop down menus but want to create a way for serch engines to navigate through my page is there a way to do it. I am reasonable sure an addition of text based links will solve this problem, but being that I want to keep my drop down menu it will be overkill for visitors to my website. Is there a way where I can make text links available for search bots but invisible for visitors?

Is it possible to have links show up under your URL when your site is searched in a url?

I've attached an example of what I'd like.

Thanks!

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

hi all,
I read somewhere that in order to help the search engine robots/spiders find my web pages I need to put in some code.
I have looked around, but cannot see it anywhere (typical).
anyone help me here please and tell me what lines of html I need to add to my page/s?

also, is it really worthwhile using or paying someone for seo?
I dont like to part with money at the best of times, but I cannot actually believe that this is a worthwhile investment- aren't all search engines different, in thast they use different 'collection' methods?
I was thinking of using ppc (Google perhaps?) do this sound a better way to get noticed on the web (providing that I choose my keywords properly, of course)?
many thanks

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

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

Thanks,
Tham.

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.

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!

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 ?

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...

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
