947740 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Aall you really need to do is query the product database and echo the results on the page, with links depending on what your ultimate goal is.

corbin Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 joinx, we aren't going to do it for you (sorry). We will help you, but you can't expect us to go, "ok here's how you do it!!! *code*" Look into SQL SELECT statements and possibly fulltext searching if you want to search descriptions too... Then make something, even if it's terrible and barely works, and we'll help you from there.

deadonarrival Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Step 1) Decide what information you want users to be able to search by. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/106331-search-engines/#findComment-545077 Share on other sites More sharing options...
