    Hi,

    The Digital Point Search Script works great. No error messages etc. The problem is that it finds everything. Type in monkey ( a word not found anywhere on my site), and it finds 438 (or 408) results within the site. No matter what you search for, same number of results with the pages in same order. What is causing this problem?:confused:

    Yes, tried default unedited script. Same problem, and no error messages either. Is this a PHP problem?

    Might be... can you make a script with just this in it and give the URL?

    <?php
phpinfo();
?>

    Not really sure to be honest... but it doesn't seem like your server is accepting variables from the user for some reason (that's why the search is as if you entered nothing every time).
