Adding search bar

Hi Does anyone know how to add a search bar to your page.
Preferably not one of thoses ones that links to google, yahoo etc...
Thanx:thumbsup:

Far as I know, unless you have a website that has its content stored dynamically (aka database), you can't really add a search bar without sending the query through a search engine.

Reason: unless you have some type of database of your own data, you cannot search it - yahoo or google have a database of your data so you can use them to search.

If you have a database, let me know more about it and your programming language.

To get a database, you would need to develop some type of content management system or use a premade one like joomla. Do you have a site already?

Yeah i have a site but I have not ftp'd it onto the net yet.

If it is a simple site (meaning you plan on being able to edit it all directly) then the Google search bar would be the smartest idea that I know. If you already have the site ready, then I doubt you would want to switch over to a CMS.
