Site Search
I'm trying to set up a search within my website. As an example of what I'm trying to do...Say I have a manufacturing company that produces 1000 different products, each with their own part number. How would I set up a search box on my page to find each individual product, via part number? I've looked at javascript, but that seems to involve manually entering each product, part number, etc. Is there another way to do this? I don't want it to be hosted from another site, preferably from code. Any ideas?

you'll need a server side search application, likely customized -- php, cold fusion, perl, asp, java.

depends on which server your site is hosted at and what programming language you prefer, you can search tonnes of free scripts on the Internet.

How is the actual site put together? Is it dynamically produced from a database or each page cinstruted individually in just plain html?

"cinstruted", Julia? There's one I've never before seen.
I guess you mean "constructed"?
How are the details of the 1000's of products stored at the moment? Are they already in a database of some kind? MySQL or Access, maybe?
