PHP & Search engines

Do search engines recognize text that is retrieved from a
MySQL database with PHP?

Nonsense. If there's no link to it, then it can only be found
by a lucky
guess.

If done right it is.

first, right?
Impossible.

A php search engine that only shows results that match entire serch string

I have set up a dreamweaver search engine through php and a fulltext search (WHERE MATCH (....) AGAINST (...). However, when someone inputs more than one word into the search form, the search engine churns out results that only have one of those words. How do I get it to only show results that have all the search string words inside? (or, at least, how do I get those results to show up at the top?)
I have seen some advice (here) that uses php code to process the search query, divide up the words, and place a BOOLEAN '+' between each of the words. By doing this, the search engine will only show results that fully match all the terms.
My problem is that I do not know how to put this code into my Dreamweaver-created code.
My dreamweaver created code:
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
 $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
$theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);
switch ($theType) {
 case "text":
 $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
 break;
 case "long":
 case "int":
 $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
 break;
 case "double":
 $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL";
 break;
 case "date":
 $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
 break;
 case "defined":
 $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
 break;
return $theValue;
$form_rsSearch = "-1";
if (isset($_get['search'])) {
$form_rsSearch = $_get['search'];
mysql_select_db($database_dataConnect, $dataConnect);
$query_rsSearch = sprintf("SELECT title, content FROM encyclopedia WHERE MATCH (title, content) AGAINST (%s)", GetSQLValueString($form_rsSearch, "text"));
$rsSearch = mysql_query($query_rsSearch, $dataConnect) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsSearch = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsSearch);
$totalRows_rsSearch = mysql_num_rows($rsSearch);
$input_rsSearchResults = "-1";
if (isset($_GET['search'])) {
$input_rsSearchResults = $_GET['search'];
mysql_select_db($database_EMdataConnect, $dataConnect);
$query_rsSearchResults = sprintf("SELECT title, content FROM encyclopedia WHERE MATCH(title, content) AGAINST(%s)", GetSQLValueString($input_rsSearchResults, "text"));
$rsSearchResults = mysql_query($query_rsSearchResults, $dataConnect) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsSearchResults = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsSearchResults);
?>
and the code the website (link above) gives is:
function search(String $search_string) {
 //strip Boolean search characters out of search string
 $search_string = string_replace($search_string,"+","");
 $search_string = string_replace($search_string,"-","");
 $search_string = string_replace($search_string,"*","");
 //split the search string up into an array of words
 Array $tokenized_search = split($search_string, " ");
 //init an empty final search string
 String $processed_search = "";
 //for each word in the search, wrap it
 //with an + and * character and then append
 //it to the processed_search variable
 foreach($tokenized_search as $token) {
 $processed_search+="+"+$token+"* ";
 //build the sql for the query and query the DB
 String $db_query = "select id, description
 from product_descriptions
 where MATCH(description)
 AGAINST ('"+$processed_search+"' IN BOOLEAN MODE)";
 Array results = execute_database_query($db_query);
 return results;
If anyone can instruct me on the correct way to go about this, I would be very much obliged.
Thank you,
YWSW

Don't use the Search bar, type the address in the Location bar.

PHP Search Engine

I made a search engine to search my database for particular things.
I know this makes it search by name
$query .= "name LIKE '%$each%' ";
What would I need to do to make it search for more stuff? Like by genre
I already have everything complete, I just need the search engine to search for more than just name.

These kinds of questions would ordinarily be best posted on the DW Application Development forum (http://forums.adobe.com/community/dreamweaver/dreamweaver_development), not here. However, I'll give it a go -
Your question is a bit vague, but how about this -
$query .= "name LIKE '%$each%' AND title LIKE '%$title%' AND goober LIKE '%$whatever%' ";

Need some help with PHP search engine

I am working on a search engine for my site that searches for
terms in my Submissions database. On the results page, I want to
categorize the results into different sections, depending on the
submission type. For example, there would be sections for audio
results, image results, and video results.
Below is the code I am working with. I copied it from a
tutorial and modified it a bit to work with my site, so I don't
completely understand it. What I have here seems to work just fine,
but this only shows audio results. I want to make queries for other
submission types as well, but I don't know how. My methods keep
failing, so I am hoping to get some help here.

When I use the google search engine in the toolbar it just says not found,this is after I updated to the latest version of firefox

Only occurs with google all the other search engines ex. bing,yahoo work.Also on the google home page when I click on classic view it does the same thing

"Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now" 
"Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies" 
 
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs. 
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

Everytime I go to a search engine like Bing or Google and click on the link to a website, it sends me to the wrong page. I don't have this problem with Internet Explorer, so what can I do as far as fixing the problem on Firefox?

Anytime I enter what I'm looking for in the search engine and click on a link, it goes through multiple web addresses until it takes me to an indirect page, and the first few webpages on the link that appear during the loading process are the same. I actually don't know what those websites are though.

Sounds like you have some search redirect Malware or a Rootkit.

Unable to open any websites from the search engines. the ones I have tried are google, yahoo and ask. They opened until recently. The popup says" Firefox can't establish connection to the server." Ask worked last night but is not working now.

When I try to open a web site from one of the search engines a pop up shows stating that Firefox can't establish connection to the server. I can't open any websites through any of the search engines.

When i try to open a url from a search, it always goes to a random search engine, not the web page

If I do a search for something, I get the Google search fine, when I click on a link it never goes to the site, it always goes to a random search engine and sometimes freezes my computer. I created a new, alternate profile, but it does it on that one too.

If it's happening on more than one profile, it sounds like a malware redirectiing you. Try doing an antivirus scan first.

When I go to google on firefox and search for a topic, I try to open a website and another website (morsearch, clickkick, etc) will open up instead into a new search engine with the same topic . What is this?

I go to google. I type in "plants". A lot of sites will pop up in google. I click on a site (does not matter which usually). The site will then start to switch to a new url from (click kick, morsearch, etc) turning into a new search engine with the same topic and more options. I never get to the page I want unless I type the url directly into the address box. It always comes back with a search engine. So far I have found this only happens while starting in a search engine. When I get into the actual page, everything is fine. I am using McAfee for security and it hasn't caught a virus or anything yet. Help please! Thanks!

How do I change my default search engine in Safari?

I would like to change my default search engine other than the options that's given in the Preferences. Does anyone know how to?

This extension claims to be able to divert your search requests to any specified search engine:

This page details a hack to change one of the defaults to an engine of your choice:

How do I get rid of a search engine that has taken over home page?

Search.US.com has taken over my hone page and everything else it can. I have tried all the suggestions available to me by the help section. I have went so far as to delete cookies. This is very invasive. I looked at restoring the system but have few options for recovery points and they don't include the search engine download. I removed the add on it came with as well. I had removed the search engine in add/remove programs and was stupid when it asked if I wanted the default settings restored. I said no. I'm afraid I am j pretty stupid when it comes to software. I hope someone can help me. Thank you for your time in this matter. ps I put what I thought was relevant in the bottom box. I had not seen this before. I tried to modify it but couldn't.

I finally got a hold of someone at that search us.com. They gave me this link to try and solve the problem. I have already reinstalled firefox but it might help someone else out. And it's much simpler. I haven't tried it but they said to get a hold of them if it didn't work. the link is:
Running ResetBrowsers.exe from http://support.search.us.com/uninstall.php should restore your settings to their defaults
Hope I'm not misusing this post. Thanks again for all your help. Your are all awesome.

Navigation in Google search page is not working, this does not happen with other browsers or other search engines.

When using Google search I cannot navigate to pages other than the first page of search results. It does not seem to matter whether I use the page number or the next hyperlink, I cannot navigate away from search page 1. This does not happen when I use other search engines nor does it happen if I conduct the same search using a different browser. This ha only recently started occurring.

A search engine called DynaSearch has taken over fire fox without my permission

I think My brother has attacked my computer, he found my note book and i now have 160 spam when I had only about ten before, and even an xxx dating service used my daughters name to make me click to their site, saying," Sheila has a message for you". Since then fire fox started crashing every ten minutes, and now it's not crashing because a site called DynaSearch has taking over the usual Google trademark that used to apesr on my page, this is a search engine that has taken over Fire Fox without my permission correct. How do I get Fire Fox back, and get them off.
