Need Product Search script (with images)

    Can anyone recommend a product search script that also displays images in results?? (php/java/asp/anything)

    I searched everywhere and only found site search scripts with text results..but I need a script that shows the product image and the description.

    This is for an existing non-cart website. The closest thing that has what I want, belongs only to e-cart/ecommerce programs..and the search is already included.

    an example would be any retail site with a single search field with drop-down categories .. like www.Walmart.com but I don't need the "Add product to cart" feature.

    Thanks for any info!

    Question, so you have a web site that has your products, with image and description already?

    the product images are posted, each in their own category. I can add descriptions later.

    Hmm, well that wholly didn't answer my question. But I'll infer that your using MySql to store products on your own website. It's an easy php script to search and retrieve in that case, post your tables and I can write it up and you can edit it.

    Otherwise more info would be nice- are the products even on your server, and how do users see them. A link would be even better.

    Actually the products are not on any database.
    I think I've been looking for the wrong script.. maybe I should look into gallery w/ a search feature..

    seems I can't do links..the site is lum-tech dot com

    Ah, I see, the products are hard coded into the html? What I would suggest that you do is to put them into a database, that way people can search through your site. Right now to make a gallery with them that has search it will take the same amount of coding as putting them into a database and making the search script. This also has alot more advantages, as you can manipulate the database easier than have to recode everything. Let's say you get a new product in- a high powered LED light for instance, you want to add it in. You would have to recode every page you want it in as well as the gallery. Where as all you would need to do if you pulled our products from a database would be one line of code, and everything would be updated.

    If you need an experienced computer programmer to do this for you I'm available over the next week.

    I figured out how to work the images into a search script and found out it's not that difficult.

    no thanks, if I was looking to hire I would post in buy/sell/or trade.
    I knew I shouldn't have posted the site link to avoid any solicitation.
