Default adding a search box

Can someone point me in the direction of a tutorial for adding a search box to a site so users can search the internal content of a website?

Thanks,

Phil

You will need a server side script for that to handle the database, does your hosting allow PHP and Mysql?

Or you could add a google search box and get paid for searches

I've used this a few times...

I'll give this a try for sure - is it easy to integrate into a page?

I have thought of this. Am i right in saying that the user of the site wanting to search for something can search either the whole web OR just the content of the website?
anks,

Ok - im going a bit in depth here into the google search box. But how does it work with the internal searching? Do I had tags to elements or does the search script search the html text automatically?

It searches and ranks your results just like google does
