Truth be told, Google's free slap-it-on-your-web site search tool
(http://www.google.com/services/websearch.html) will do everything you
want and save you a lot of coding. Assuming this is for
actsministries.org which seems to be a useful resource of information;
it is probably well indexed by Google and updates will be reflected
reasonably quickly. On my most popular site, which is sort of a
resource, Google is usually 24-48 hours behind changes.
Doing your own search coding is best when you want to allow users to
search data in a database (rather than on web pages).
Good luck,

I have a really basic search engine I wrote last year. I told my web
site what pages the user could search ... as in I keyed in the URL's
I am giving my site a face lift and making some serious changes to
it ... I have my database out of date ... I would like to crawl my site
once a day to update what changes I made during the past 24 hours and
delete HTML files which no longer exist.
If someone knew how to retrieve various <a href=""> then I could start
with something and build on it over time ...

What about the MySQL "LIKE" command? Research it.
This is assuming your data is stored properly without redundant data
and in a MySQL database.

Has anyone wrote a search engine for the web site? I am wondering if
someone has the time to help me walk through doing this. Ron
