Borderline Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Hi, I'm looking for some advice. I have a raceform website; the template was purchased and has a web search field already set up which I'd like to utilize. I've been looking online at questions/answers relating to people coding their own search tools, and in many people have suggested using scripts like Sphider instead. My site is built in PHP/MYSQLI, and I consider myself a novice. There will be a minimum of 600 pages to index, and all I'm wanting is for the content between the title tags to be indexed - for example, the horse's name appears within the title tags of his individual page, and that's literally the only page I wanted displayed if someone were to search his name (results pages etc should be ignored). My question is, how would you recommend progressing from here? Am I genuinely better using a pre-created script, or would a basic search tool that I've created be sufficient. Can you recommend any tutorials or scripts? A lot of the scripts and tutorials seem to have been produced several years ago, so I was wondering if there was anything created more recently? Any advice is much appreciated! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davej Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 So you are actually going to create one result page and then fill it on demand from a database or XML dataset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
