search creation

[Ninjakreborn]

How do I create a simple to advanced search function. like a major website, how do they set up a search for a forum, or for a website or something of that nature. What do I need to do, would it require a database, or wuold I try to store the whole website information into various variables, and pass it to one big function, with a form text area, and get it to search through all the variables. Or do I pick specific keywords, like what I think they would want to search for, and pass each to a variable in there location, and then create a function for a form text area, to where if they type in one of the words it somehow draws the page with that variable up There has to be some ways, Main thing is does it involve a database if not then how would I go about doing this.

alright, i know im not a moderator or a guru but seriously, you can search google for tutorials on this. as ive said in past posts to you, you arent going to be able to make your own google in a matter of days. search google for the tutorials to what it is your a looking for, then when you have problems with what you've found, ask your question
