Can anybody tell me how once I have created a search box and button how I can make the search live on a website I am building in Dreamweaver. For example if I was Yell.com and someone put in "Kings Head Reading" then pressed search, how can I make it so it would bring up a page where "Kings Head, 1 Sample Street, Reading" was written?
Many thanks

Bit beyond my capabilities but I believe you'd need to call on a php script perhaps. It's not a simple case of just adding a button

Thanks for the reply. As I said in the post I am aware it is not a simple case of adding button I need to no how to tie it all together to work.Originally Posted by HappyBeaver

Well, I googled 'add search function to a webpage' and it looks very complicated indeed and in some cases quite expensive! Not sure what kind of website your mastering but google offer a free script for search *shrug*. I'm not being very helpful am I LOL
Have you sought help over at Dreamweavers forum?

Sites like Yell.com are db based sites, which in turn are easier to index and search. You don't say whether your site is straight HTML or PHP, ASP, etc.
As HB says, you can add a Google search box to an HTML based site but that's only as good as Google's index of your site and won't pick up on new content immediately, unlike a PHP/MySQL based site.
