    hi,

    I have build search engine for my website which displays links of pages based on the keyword enter by user.

    But when i am adding new pages or new content in my website it will be not reflected on search result b'coz my search engine is static.

    I have already store the links of the pages to be shown when relavent keyword enter in database. so whenever new pages need to be added i have to also update that keyword databse accordingly..

    Now i want to build dynamic search engine which doesn't require to update databse everytime i add new page or update content in my site.

    I want some idea to get start with these...

    Thanx..........

    What tools are you working with? ASP? PHP and MySQL?

    Try using full-text searchning, then you can get rid of that keyword column, and match queries against the actuall content.

    G search for 'asp code search engine' brings up, amongst others, http://www.webwizguide.com/asp/sample_scripts/site_search_script.asp with commented coding examples.

    I've made my own in PHP with MySql and can tell you it's not something you can just copy and paste in a forum... Will require some research, studying, practice, tweaking and messing around.

    With string comparison you could avoid that.

    you're working with ASP only? No db backend? You're limited to what you can do then.

    You should make the switch to the PHP/MySQL combo ;)

    Well... Lets turn it around... Is there anything you can't do with PHP?

    The answer is pretty much 100% NO.

    PHP/MySql would be a great next step up from Access!

    The latest version of PHP - the Bible

    That's how I kickstarted my PHP knowledge... No wonder Yahoo swapped to PHP for a steeper learning curve... You will be making pretty ingenious stuff within weeks.

    Edit: Book covers MySql too
