Site Search is designed for websites with reasonably small content that do not have access to server side languages from which complicated search engine databases can be accessed. It also alleviates the alternative of including Google Search should you not wish to use it.
Site Search accepts input from your visitor, searched a database which you create and displays the results inside the current webpage.
There are 3 main components: a database file, search engine function and a HTML FORM. Ideally, each page on your website should contain the FORM component and remotely load both the Javascript database and function code. This will allow you to manage your search data by editing only one file.
Site Search accepts two input flags for must and not, and word pair literals in the form of two quoted words. A brief combination is as follows:
optional +must -not "one two" +"three four" -"five six"
The above search would produce a result only if there is a database entry containing the word must and the word pair three four but not if the word not or the word pair five six are present. Any database entry which also contains either option or one two will increase that entries score and move it higher in the results list.
Since this is a very simple script, invalid input will cause unusual results; most likely fewer or no results.
