Search a Website?

[cusimar9]

2 seperate questions really...

1. On a lot of sites these days you find a 'search' facility... how can I set this up and is it free?

2. Is there any way I can search an arbitrary website for something? Perhaps there's a program I can download that I can tell to search all of www.mydomain.com for a search term 'blah' and it come back with every page containing that term?

2) Google

Just type "site:mysite.com searchtermhere" and you're all set.

Unsure of number 1, never done it myself without setting up a database of items and just querying using keyword LIKE.

I didn't know Google could do that for you

But Google can only find items its already indexed... I need a more exhaustive search, and one which searches every link on the page that relates to that domain.

You may be able to use Teleport Pro for something like that... I'm not sure how fine-grained the searches are, however.

I've written a script to do that now, searches websites recursively :D
