jst4fun Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Hi all, I am in the process of developing a new website. My client requires me to integrate a search feature into this website. The feature is to enable site visitors to search something present in this site. I have seen this feature in many websites but not sure how to implement. The only idea that comes to me is to read all the html files and also my data in tables and then search for the string in the read data. But this may take too much time to develop from scratch and I need to complete the development of this site soon. I have heard that there are many free API's including that of google's to do this task. If anyone could provide any input regarding this feature, I would be very grateful. Please note that about 60% content of this site is static.

trq Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Have you checked out Google's API pages? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/60050-how-to-integrate-a-search-feature-into-websites/#findComment-298729 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jst4fun Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 Thanks thorpe for your reply. Yes I have seen this page and I saw two API's for this listed in that site. One is Google SOAP Search API and another one is Google AJAX Search API. Google is not issuing API Key for the first API anymore. So I checked the second one. The problem is I am confused if the API is to search the web and show the result in my site or also got the capability to just search my site alone. So if anyone got any previous experience of using this service please let me know. Thanks.
