Thanks Alexv for your reply,I am just starting my carrier as programmer and i am a newbie to php and mysql.But could have been more generous in your reply instead of being rude.

Thanks for yor reply. But i also want Wildcard search functionality and for that i want a php code to parse the user input and then form a query eg: user enters bla* then result should contain all occurances of bla.

Why dont you can use javascript to validate the number ?

I am developing a intranet forum in Php and MySQL and I am using ajax to display searched results on the same page but right now I am using query LIKE text% to search in database which is slower. but I want to make it fast search engin which can parse *,+ and show result. Since I am using ajax i am not able to use free search engin,so if possible pls provide a complete solution
