Hello,

Does anyone know a tutorial I can follow to create my own search engine over the items I have in my SQL database?
I find a lot of tutorials but they are all 'one word searches' which means if you type two words you will get all results that contain either word (too many hits).

If the search engine tutorial displays result with AJAX even better.

Thanks for help.

I am developing a intranet forum in Php and MySQL and I am using ajax to display searched results on the same page but right now I am using query LIKE text% to search in database which is slower. but I want to make it fast search engin which can parse *,+ and show result.

Since I am using ajax i am not able to use free search engin,so if possible pls provide a complete solution

Hello. I am working on a php script for searching a database table. I am really new to this, so I used the this tutorial http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorial/simple-sql-search

I managed to get all the things working the way I wanted, except one important and crucial thing.
Let me explain.
My table consist of three columns, like this:

ID(bigint20)    title(text)        link (varchar255)
=============================
ID1                title1                link-1
ID2                title2                link-2
etc...

Like I said, I managed to make the script display results for a search query based on the title. Want I want it to do more, but I can't seem to find the right resource to learn how, is to place a "Download" button under each search result with its corresponding link from the table.

Here is the code I used.

<?php

$dbHost = 'localhost'; // localhost will be used in most cases
// set these to your mysql database username and password.
$dbUser = 'user'; 
$dbPass = 'pass';
$dbDatabase = 'db'; // the database you put the table into.
$con = mysql_connect($dbHost, $dbUser, $dbPass) or trigger_error("Failed to connect to MySQL Server. Error: " . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db($dbDatabase) or trigger_error("Failed to connect to database {$dbDatabase}. Error: " . mysql_error());
// Set up our error check and result check array
$error = array();
$results = array();
// First check if a form was submitted. 
// Since this is a search we will use $_GET
if (isset($_GET['search'])) {
   $searchTerms = trim($_GET['search']);
   $searchTerms = strip_tags($searchTerms); // remove any html/javascript.
   
   if (strlen($searchTerms) < 3) {
      $error[] = "Search terms must be longer than 3 characters.";
   }else {
      $searchTermDB = mysql_real_escape_string($searchTerms); // prevent sql injection.
   }
   
   // If there are no errors, lets get the search going.
   if (count($error) < 1) {
      $searchSQL = "SELECT title, link FROM db WHERE title LIKE '%{$searchTermDB}%'";

      $searchResult = mysql_query($searchSQL) or trigger_error("There was an error.<br/>" . mysql_error() . "<br />SQL Was: {$searchSQL}");
      
      if (mysql_num_rows($searchResult) < 1) {
         $error[] = "The search term provided {$searchTerms} yielded no results.";
      }else {
         $results = array(); // the result array
         $i = 1;
         while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($searchResult)) {
            $results[] = "{$row['title']}<br /> Download - this is the button I want to link to the title results - and maybe other links too - <br /> ";

    $i++;

       

   
         }
      
      }
   }
}

function removeEmpty($var) {
   return (!empty($var)); 


}
?>

      <?php echo (count($error) > 0)?"The following had errors:<br /><span id=\"error\">" . implode("<br />", $error) . "</span><br /><br />":""; ?>
      <form method="GET" action="search?" name="searchForm">
         Search for title: <input type="text" name="search" value="<?php echo isset($searchTerms)?htmlspecialchars($searchTerms):''; ?>" />
        
         <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Search" />
      </form>

    <?php echo (count($results) > 0)?"Rezultate lucrari de licenta sau disertatie pentru {$searchTerms} :<br /><br />" . implode("", $results):""; ?>




 $results = array(); // the result array
         $i = 1;
         while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($searchResult)) {
            $results[] = "{$row['title']}<br /> Download - this is the button I want to link to the title results - and maybe other links too - <br /> ";

    $i++;

 
I would like the results to be displayed like this

Results for SearchItem:

Result 1
Download | Other link
Result 2
Download | Other link
etc.... or something like this.

So, how do I add the data from the link row into a text(Dowload), within an <a href> tag (well, at least I guess it would go this way) ?
My first tries (fueled by my lack of knowledge) where things like

$results[] = "{$row['title']}<br /> <a href="{$row['link']}">Download</a> <br /> ";

but I keep getting lots of errors, and then I don't know much about arrays and stuff (except basic notions);
So there it is. I am really stuck and can't seem to find any workaround for this.
Any suggestions? (examples, documentation, anything would do, really)
Thanks,
Radu
