Very Basic Search Engine

Joined: 11/28/2008

Hey everyone,

OK so I want a search engine. I've already created and used a PHP/MySQL search engine that works great.

But I am not using MySQL in this case.

I have a ton of HTML files in a folder that I want to search through.

So, what would be the best way, least overhead as long as the quickest solution, to search 1000's of HTML files via a simple HTML form using PHP?

God bless,
Johnathan

I made a flat file search for

I made a flat file search for my website. If you go there, and try the search and like it, send me a message on my website and I will send you the script I am using.

Google?

You can have google search your site and put a google search box right on it.

Matt, thanks...

Matt,

I would have used this, however two things are stopping that option...

1) the site isn't going to be available on the internet,

2) the pages aren't connected directly to the site...

Is there a version that works aside from the internet, to be used in the intranet without access to the internet?

God bless,
Johnathan

SoLR

Can you use something like Apache SoLR and tie it into your site?

apache solr

I would check out apache solr. You can't really clone that with php and mysql.... or at least it would be a lot of work that has not been done... with a lot of math.

apache solr

I dont have access to a server to install it, I need to stay with a hosted solution.
