Site Search

[Depco]

I see many web sites that let you search for pages and documents within that site. I need something that will work with html, txt and most importantly pdf. What do you use?

I use FastFind but it does not do PDF files.

I don't remember where I got this but here's a way to get Google to search your site only.

> <!-- SiteSearch Google -->
     <FORM method=GET action="http://www.google.com/search">
       <TABLE bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
         <tr>
           <td><A HREF="http://www.google.com/"> </A> </td>

           <td width="50%"><INPUT TYPE=text name=q size=31 maxlength=255 value="">
               <INPUT type=submit name=btnG VALUE="Google Search">
               <font size=-1>
               <input type=hidden name=domains value="http://www.******/">
               <br>
               <input type=radio name=sitesearch value="http://www.******" checked>
       Your Site Name Here
       <input type=radio name=sitesearch value="">
       The entire web <br>

             </font> </td>
           <td class="search">*Please be aware that recent changes may not appear in a Google search. </td>
         </tr>
       </TABLE>
     </FORM>
   <!-- SiteSearch Google -->

Hope it helps!

To Depco:

I usee Freefind.com

 

To Jim:

Probably from http://www.google.com/searchcode.html

Thanks, that's a great piece of code to have.

 

I copied this code into a test html page and tried it. Got great results but strangly when you try to search again from their results page it would not work.

 

I removed the last forward slash "/" from the

<input type=hidden name=domains value="http://www.******/">

line of code ind it worked great.

 

Thanks.

Yeah, Thomas, probably. I couldn't find the link.

 

Glad it worked after your mod!
