Web Site Search Engine

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me locate a code for a search engine of my web site. My dilemma is, most of the search engines I've located search the web. This's not what I want. I'm looking for a search engine where you can select from a menu display and then hit search and it will return results in a text format from my web site only.
If you're not sure what I'm looking for, an example can be found at www.westernvirtualairlines.com
They use the Quick Flight Search which is exactly what I would like to use.
If you enter Salt Lake City in the "from" box, and Los Angeles in the "to" box it will return the results in the same format I wish to use.
Any help would be awsome and greatly appreciated.
Thanks for any help and assistance.

Well, you can use Google to search your own web pages, but I don't think that's quite what you're asking.
That site you pointed to undoubtedly has its own database set up, so when you click search, it searches through their database and returns any relevant data to your search. If this is what you're attempting to accomplish, there's not going to be any script you can just cut and paste and have everything magically work for you.
While you may not see it, those aren't simply HTML pages you're looking at. That site uses Active Server Pages, orASP, Microsoft's parallel to JSP (Java Server Pages). This pages query the database, organize the result and display it on the page. If you want something this complex, you'll either need to invest some serious time into learning a technology that can handle it, or hire a developer to do it for you.

How to create an in-site search engine

How does one manually create an in-site search engine (without using Google's site search engine or the like)? Is it very difficult and time consuming?

If your site is dynamically populated with content from server-side databases, it's not hard.
If your site is static, a 3rd party search function might be a better choice until you're ready to build a dynamic site.

Site search engine

Hi everyone! I need to put a site search engine in my composition how can i do that?
Thanks everyone in advance!

Your web host is running OSX Server? If so, one would hope a
specialized
host like that would be able to provide you some options.
Otherwise, I believe the Web server on OSX Server is the
Apache web server,
in which case, you should be able to use any search solution
that would run
on Apache (like any PHP solution).

When I open a new tab it does not bring up my homepage. It brings up another sites search engine page.

When I click on the new tab button, a small cross, it opens the new tab, but displays another sites search page, not my homepage. I cannot find where to tell it to open my homepage on all new tabs that are opened from the tab bar.

The basic Firefox build has always opened a blank page when you open a new tab.
Maybe some add-on you installed modified that feature of Firefox which now opens all tabs in a different page. Here's what you will need to do.
Open Firefox -> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. The tabs will now be opening in a blank page. You can Enable the add-ons again and check if its working properly.

Need a quote on creating a site search engine cfc

Ok, this is what I have set up and you get the idea on what I
am trying to
accomplish.
I have a table of my database called 'members'
Amongst other items I have columns called:
state: varchar(2)
service: TinyInt
keywords: LongText
When people sign up they choose their service from a list,
choose their
state from a list and enter keywords from a textbox which is
all inserted
into the table. They can enter it any way they want.
When people go to search, they have to choose a state and a
service
(required).
The keywords is optional and is a textbox. They may just put
random words in there or separate them with comma or such.
I need a SQL code written that will take the state and the
service which are
always chosen and add the option of keywords.
I would like this put into a CFC to use on the site.
How much would anyone / everyone charge me to do this for me?
I am at my
wits end and don't have the time to keep this request up.
I will probably learn better from seeing it completed then to
have people
send me to places.
If you need any other information, please ask.
Listed below is that I have currently. Everything works fine
except for the
keywords section. It works if one word is entered, but bombs
if you enter
more than one.
<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="ServiceSearch" access="remote"
returntype="query">
<cfargument name="service" type="string"
required="true">
<cfargument name="state" type="string"
required="true">
<cfargument name="keywords" type="string"
required="false">
<cfquery name="ServiceResults"
datasource="#Request.MainDSN#">
Select company, name, phone, service, city, state, username
FROM members
WHERE service = #arguments.service# AND state =
'#arguments.state#'
<cfif len(trim(arguments.keywords)) GT 0>
AND keywords LIKE '%#Trim(arguments.keywords)#%'
</cfif>
ORDER BY company ASC
</cfquery>
<cfreturn ServiceResults>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
Please let me know.

you would have to tell the users to separate the entered
keywords by comma or space. Then you would take that list and
delimit it into a array. This can then be feed to your query like
this................
<cfset searchlogic2 = ListAppend(searchlogic2,'AND Title
like "#First Item of Array#%"',' ')>
You would have to loop over your array to append all of the
keywords to the searchlogic2 string.
Then you just use that sting in your
query.....................
<cfquery name="GetActivity" datasource="WEARS">
SELECT *
WHERE ________
#searchlogic2#
</cfquery>
Hopefully that helps!

All web browsers, search engines and apps redirect automatically to broken links.

Hi, I have a big problem. When I browse internet, my iPhone redirect it automatically to different links. most of them are broken links. When I try to stop, web browser or app will be closed. This occur with every web browser, google and apps such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Viber, etc. Why is this ? If I try to open a weblink in a web browser or an app, it will open original link and then redirect to a different web address automatically. And it content nothing. I am confused. Please help.

thanks orangekay for your input. i downloaded both onyx and cocktail and ran them both fully (not at the same time of course) and the problem still persists, pages are still rendering in glyphs. i went in and did the full system with every option checked. still no luck.
also after running the two utilities i've run into a new glitch. when a dialog box appears my pointer slowly moves automatically to the default button that is highlighted. its really strange, i'm not sure if thats a feature or not, but i havent had time to explore the situation.
so you believe it's a font problem? hmm...
thanks for the input again, geese, i guess this topic isnt very common, i've ony gotten one response =T

Open new tab (before update, clear page) after update a web page search engine (unwanted) )

I have tried to find where this page resides to no avail, can someone tell me please how do I eliminate this website and all I want is to have a clear page when I click on (Open a new tab)

Site search limitations when using Spry Widgets

Currently evaluating search tools to work with Spry
accordion, tabbed panels and so on. Apparently NONE of them do.
This is a big problem. Our site uses mostly Dreamweaver spry
widgets.
I have tested the very highly rated zoom Search from WrenSoft
and also expect problems with Google Search and Atomz (based on web
research I have done).
If one searches for a word residing in one of the spry tabbed
panels,accordians (there could be many layers on a single page of
course), site search engines correctly take you to the page but
naturally does not open the correct tabbed panel (Zoom Search
doesn't understand DW code of course). Just presents you with the
default panel. User would have to dig through all panels on that
page to find the text. Our users need these nice interfaces. This
is reality. Also some of the Java script in Wrensoft that
highlights search words conflicts with existing Java script within
Dreamweaver. I've worked around some of it but the core issue is
the landing on the page and opening the correct tab. The question
is can anyone suggest a search engine tool that will work with
Dreamweaver Spry widgets or suggest something else. This is a huge
disincentive to use Spry. Perhaps build pages without Spry to
specifically go to after search? Sound like a lot of work.
Thanks

This is not an issue specific to Spry, it's an issue with
other JavaScript solutions that show and hide content, and it is
also an issue if CSS is used show and hide content.
If you have a way to obtain the search terms from the search
engine page, then you might be able to handle this (based upon your
description, the WrenSoft JavaScript finds that info out), but then
you'd also have to have a search engine built within your page that
will search through the page and figure out what tab the searched
term(s) are on, and then show that tab, but then what happens when
you have terms on multiple tabs in a tab group? You'll have to
determine which search terms are more important than other terms.
There is code available that will allow you to open specific
tabs using the showPanel method. Check out the API for the Tabbed
panel:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/data_api/index.html
And perhaps take a look at the code for this page (check in
the linked JavaScript file):
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/tabbedpanels/tabbed_panel_unobtrusive.htm
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/tabbedpanels/tp_unobtrusive.js
As the Spry code is namespaced to specifically prevent
conflicts with other JavaScript code, it would be good to know what
those conflicts are so that others can be aware of them to try to
prevent them in their pages.

Java Search Engine?

Does anyone know whether it would be possible to write a web based search engine such as google in java? I don't want detailed information, but does anyone know what kind of equipment/software I would need, and the difficulty it poses. Any relevent URLs appreciated.
cheers

The reason why I am enquiring about this is that I'm thinking of carrying out this task for my CS project. Is it sufficiently difficult? Or even possible in a 6 month or so period, part time?I want all the code to be my own and not using any current engines, if that makes any sense.
Does any1 know how the current engines on www such as google, ask.com are written?Relevent info appreciated.
Cheers

How to expose Web App data to search engines

Hi Guys - Need direction please
My website contains a business directory (web app)
The web app items are in a secure zone (the client only want registered/paid members to create their business profiles) = customer submitted web app
It is also required that the directory is indexed by "elgooG".
When searching for a type of business on "elgooG", they want the listed business information found, with a link to the actual detail
e.g.: website.com\directory\Joe-blogs-plumbing
First problem, the web app item sits behind a login (secured)
How would you configure this so that we have the Web App item secured (paid), but also visible to search engines and general public?
Much appreciated

There is no reason for the whole web app to be under a securezone.
Once you assign the owner of the item they can only edit it when they login.
All you need to do is have a listing directory on your site that shows these. IF you do not want that and it only under a securezone of course it will never get indexed by google.
If you want the public listing of these you just need a page and put in the web app module that outputs the list. Things like the edit link wont show unless your logged in.

Iweb site on search engines

I have been trying my very best to make my website (http://web.mac.com/bjcarreon) available on search engines because I think it's a great site and people can learn from my experiences but I have been only 1/4 successful because when you try to search for me in google, you can only search what's on the welcome page and not the sub pages. how do i make all the pages in my site, searchable?
is there an easy way to have my iweb made website searchable on line? please help.

mate - your in the wrong forum. you have the latest iweb version, and this is the one previous to it. in any case, you might want to check out my tutorial for making iweb sites be on google:
http://guimkie.com/projects/iweb/get-on-google-with-iweb/
as a way to make your site be more keyword attractive - make sure that none of your text is as images. if you use simply textboxes, the content will be moved into the html code and can then be picked up by google. text in images cannot be picked up by google.
for those having iweb 06, i have this article:
http://guimkie.com/projects/iweb/get-on-google-with-iweb-1x
i have some ads on my site, meaning it might generate revenue if you visit it. this is apple policy. i have to state it in order to be allowed to post this link here.

Listing JSP site on search engines

I am hoping that there are some methods to get dynamically JSP generated webpages listed on search engines. I know that there are issues when using a query string because of spiders avoiding the '?' Is there a mod_rewrite type of option that can be accomplished in web.xml or anywhere else that could translate a site so that I could use:
http://somesite.com/product/id/324
instead of:
http://somesite.com/product.jsp?id=324
Even if there is a completely different approach to solving this, I welcome any and all suggestions.
Thank you all in advance,
Steve

Or, to make your site more portable (if this is an issue), design your pages such that direct access without query variables provides a meaningful result in the first place, and your problem is solved. I know i have a habit of just erasing extra query stuff on pages i'm viewing to try to get to a root page.. it's incredibly annoying when one doesn't exist, or craps out on you because you're missing parameters.
Although using Apache is a good idea... hadn't thought of that.

Site isn't coming up in search engines - Please Help

The site www.airrepaircarolina.com when i type that entire url into a search engine it still doesn't come up. It also doesn't come up when I put the company name in the search area. The code for the index page is below. I'm sure it's something in the meta tags or something I have left out. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Also, if you know how I can get higher rankings in google, yahoo etc without having to pay for that I would appreciate the info.

...tag. If you wanted a description and keyword meta tag, you first need to create the correct format...
<meta name="description" content="this is where the description goes" />
<meta name="keywords" content="keywords go here" /> (ignored by most browsers)
You also MUST reduce the size of that description. Generally speaking one or two sentences is it and formatting is also ignored (all the line breaks). That massive block is being ignored first, because it's not correctly formatted, second even if it was, it is going to present to the search engines as a cramming situation and be ignored.
Your meta tags are not a major factor in how your site will be found. In fact, the keywords meta tag (which it appears you have combined with your description tag) is completely ignored by the major search engines. Your site needs to have keyword rich, relevant html text first and foremost. Without it, you won't be found.
EDIT: Also, being indexed takes time. You may benefit from creating a Google Webmaster Account, but there is no guarantee it will speed up the process. Indexing can take up to a month in some situations. If the site just went up, give it time.
