Javascript Search Engine (Search own site)
html, javascript, search
Solution
Few suggestions:
- Unless you must, don't re-invent the wheel - there are open source libraries such as Tipue Search (Tipue Search) and others.
- You can use jquery/ajax $.load() to dynamically load page content and search them, while still staying in the same page as far as your DOM and script goes.
- NodeJS is also a good option, but will probably be an over kill.
Hope this helps!
Problem
I want to have a search engine which searches only my own site. I have some JavaScript currently, but it only searches words on that specific page. I need it to search the links within my site if possible. I cannot use the Google search engine as my site is on an internal intranet. ``` <SCRIPT language=JavaScript> var NS4 = (document.layers); var IE4 = (document.all); var win = window; var n = 0; function findInPage(str) { var txt, i, found; if (str == "") return false; if (NS4) { if (!win.find(str)) while(win.find(str, false, true)) n++; else n++; if (n == 0) alert("Not found."); } if (IE4) { txt = win.document.body.createTextRange(); for (i = 0; i <= n && (found = txt.findText(str)) != false; i++) { txt.moveStart("character", 1); txt.moveEnd("textedit"); } if (found) { txt.moveStart("character", -1); txt.findText(str); txt.select(); txt.scrollIntoView(); n++; } else { if (n > 0) { n = 0; findInPage(str); } else alert("Sorry, we couldn't find.Try again"); } } return false; } </SCRIPT> ``` (onsubmit="return findInPage(this.string.value); in the button tag.) It works great for searching that page, but I was hoping there was a way to search all pages on my site.
