I have a website with advertising 150 books, I would like to add a search facility for the site but it has been built in HTML. I wonder is there an easy way to do this without scripting as I am not a real programmer just HTML in Dreamweaver. The information required to be searched is; book title, author and ISBN No. I seem to remember seeing some javascript that searches a pre-indexed list and returns a result...does any know of such a thing.

Thanks in anticipation.

You could try using Google search - http://www.google.com/sitesearch/

Seems like one has to pay for Google Search but I'd rather have something hosted on my own site, ideally some form of javascript that searches an index file I create and update. Thanks all the same.

I have seen something like what you want using xml for the search information.

I take it this question has not yet been answered? I am also looking for a search box for within my website.

 

Thanks for any help on this.

If all books are all on one page, you could use something like this: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/09/21/5-coding-techniques-for-more-dynamic-websites/ point 1, On-Page Text Search

You dont have to pay for the Google search if you are happy to have some of their ads in the results.
