    Question Database for website "search" capability

    Hi there can someone help me please. I have a website up and running without problems. I am looking to incorporate a 'search' facility to it so prospective customers can search for make/model/size/cost etc...
    Do I need an SQL database to do this or is there a really simple way. If an sql databas eis required can I set one up using an MS excel spreadsheet that I have the info on already.

    my url is www.008automotive.com

    I would welcome any suggestions to implement.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Paul.

    There are scripts that do this, and you must create a database in cpanel mysql and then run the install to connect the script to the data base.

    Do a search for SEARCH Scripts on google.. there are even some FAIR free ones

    You could just use a google search bar which doesn't need all of the information to be in a database to be searched. This however will only provide a very basic search of your website's content.

    Register/Login Script
    Do you use a Password Protected Directory? Need a way to allow users to make their own account, try my .htaccess Login Script
