July 9, 20179 yr Hi all, I'm brand new to web building and am looking for advice on how to set up and include a search engine on one's page. What I'm hoping the search engine to achieve: i - to be able to search a table of data stored on my server (which I am yet to set up) and to be able to retrieve info for that record e.g. if I searched the word "Japan" I would like it to retrieve info from the server such as "Capital: Tokyo" ii - for the toolbar to be able to predict text e.g. after entering "Ja" it would list directly beneath it "Jamaica - capital: Kingston" and beneath that record "Japan - capital: Tokyo" and so on (similar to google's or amazon's tool bar except that it retrieves additional but fixed info). I'd be very grateful for suggestions of search engine platforms that would be suitable for achieving the above and advice on whether the above is feasible for someone with 0 coding/web building knowledge (...the availability of online tutorials for setting up the SE would be a big bonus). A friend who also has little web building knowledge suggested using Apache Lucene - anyone have experience with this and know if suitable? Thanks!
