When you have an error with a line number, [b]always[/b] identify that line in any code you post.

You cannot use Desc as a field name since DESC is a reserved word in MySQL.  I'd recommend changing the field name in your database table, but as a work-around you could enclose desc in backticks - `desc` - in the query.

Here is the good solution with my comments in the brackets ( ). You made a few mistakes.

The probram should work now. If not, I am here.

[code]
<?php

  // Get the search variable from URL

  $var = @$_GET['q'] ;
  $trimmed = trim($var); //trim whitespace from the stored variable

// rows to return
$pagenum=10;

// check for an empty string and display a message.
if ($trimmed == "")
  {
  echo "<p>Please enter a search...</p>";
  exit;
  }

// check for a search parameter
if (!isset($var))
  {
  echo "<p>We dont seem to have a search parameter!</p>";
  exit;
  }

//connect to your database ** EDIT REQUIRED HERE **
mysql_connect("localhost","vasudhai_vss","vsspl"); //(host, username, password)

//specify database ** EDIT REQUIRED HERE **
mysql_select_db("vasudhai_Web") or die("Unable to select database"); //select which database

// we're using <<< what the heck is this doing here?

// Build SQL Query
$query = "select * from Hyd_Contacts where Category like \"%$trimmed%\""; // (HERE, YOU NEED one more " between " and ; )

$numresults=mysql_query($query);
$numrows=@mysql_num_rows($numresults);

// If we have no results, offer a google search as an alternative

if ($numrows == 0)  //this is line 42  (ON THIS LINE YOU CAN'T USE [b] because it is a HTML tag and you are starting to use if.)
  {
  echo "<h4>Results</h4>";
  echo "<p>Sorry, your search: &quot;" . $trimmed . "&quot; returned zero results</p>";

// google
echo "<p><a href="http://www.google.com/search?q="
  . $trimmed . "\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Look up
  " . $trimmed . " on Google\">Click here</a> to try the
  search on google</p>";
  }

// next determine if s has been passed to script, if not use 0
  if (empty($s)) {
  $s=0;
  }

// get results
  $query .= " pagenum $s,$pagenum";
  $result = mysql_query($query) or die("Couldn't execute query");

// display what the person searched for
echo "<p>You searched for: &quot;" . $var . "&quot;</p>";

// begin to show results set
echo "Results";
$count = 1 + $s ;

// now you can display the results returned
  while ($row= mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
  $title = $row["1st_field"];

  echo $count.")&nbsp;$title" ; // (HERE, YOU need to erase the " before $count and to add that same " before ). )
  $count++ ;
  }

$currPage = (($s/$pagenum) + 1);

//break before paging
  echo "<br>";

  // next we need to do the links to other results
  if ($s>=1) { // bypass PREV link if s is 0
  $prevs=($s-$pagenum);
  print "&nbsp;<a href=\"".$PHP_SELF?s=$prevs&q=$var."\">&lt;&lt;
  Prev 10</a>&nbsp&nbsp;";
  }

// calculate number of pages needing links
  $pages=intval($numrows/$pagenum);

// $pages now contains int of pages needed unless there is a remainder from division

  if ($numrows%$pagenum) {
  // has remainder so add one page
  $pages++;
  }

// check to see if last page
  if (!((($s+$pagenum)/$pagenum)==$pages) && $pages!=1) {

  // not last page so give NEXT link
  $news=$s+$pagenum;

  echo "&nbsp;<a href=\"".$PHP_SELF?s=$news&q=$var."\">Next 10 &gt;&gt;</a>"; // (A VARIABLE MUST START WITH ". and ends with ." to work correctly. The same problem is 20 lines above. )
  }

$a = $s + ($pagenum) ;
  if ($a > $numrows) { $a = $numrows ; }
  $b = $s + 1 ;
  echo "<p>Showing results $b to $a of $numrows</p>";
