| How can I add a search box to my site so users can find webpages on my site based on what they type in the search box? |

| Is the content of you website into a database? If it is you just need to search the database for the user entered keyword, and this will return all pages matching the keywor or phrase. |

Its asp.net firstly.
Secondly, you'd set the search string as a variable, based on what the user enters.
This variable is checked against the content in the database.
Database connections are out of the scope of this thread though, there is alot of information on google about this. |

Search functions are one of the easiest queries you can do.
It's an SQL query.
Actually getting it to be accurate and provide relevant results is where the challenge lies. |

Not really Darth. Generally a simple search database query will bring back pretty relevant results.
It all depends what sort of data you are searching though. If its just text then its easy, but anything else can cause some problems. |
