Hi all, I have been developing a website lately. I thought of adding a search functionality that would help users to search for the required information and make it navigation easy. I tried in every way i could but the code shows errors. Actually i need 2 things to add in the search. 1. Most Relevant Search 2. Most Recent Search i have planned to use radio buttons for the above 2 searches...so that once the keyword is entered in the search box, users can choose the most apropriate options they prefer before clicking the search button. If anyone could help me with the code it would be really helpful and grateful as the need cannot be stressed. Thanks in Advance

Hi Apocalyse, You could try Eurekster.com for a relevant and vertical search facility, I found it quite straighforward to set up. Monker (acornsuperlinks.com)

You don't wanna try sticking in a Google Search bar? Might be good for earning some bucks when you got good traffic..
Google Toolbar is the quickest. I assume you don't have your website setup under a CMS (ie Joomla, Drupal etc) They all come with search plugins.
