gevans Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 but I cant seem to get any heads or tails of it What is the problem? It looks like the code in place will work, is the problem you don't udnerstand it, or it's not doing what you expect it to?

smacpettit Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Well I just dont understand it, it needs to be edited so instead of returning the fake results it actually return results from a webpage Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/167106-php-site-search-class-help-please/#findComment-881083 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gevans Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 That is a huge amount of work you're hoping to undertake, and if you want to search the actually pages (which may be dynamic) you're going to need to use a spider and search script. Have a look at http://www.sphider.eu/ as an example.

smacpettit Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Right what if I only wanted to search the http://ubuntu.com/ that is in the example? Would that make it easier?

gevans Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Do you want to search the website content, or the url? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/167106-php-site-search-class-help-please/#findComment-881090 Share on other sites More sharing options...
smacpettit Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 I want to search the website content of http://ubuntu.com/ with what ever is typed in the Search Term Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/167106-php-site-search-class-help-please/#findComment-881091 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gevans Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Have a look at http://www.sphider.eu/ as an example. You need to crawl the site with a spider if you want to search the content. But you will only be able to do this on your own domain, unless you start looking into curl() to gather content from other sites Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/167106-php-site-search-class-help-please/#findComment-881125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
