Search
Hi,
I am just 16 years old, I have not done any webdesign course or anyhing of that sort. However I have created the following website http://www.muslim-names.co.uk
I would like someone to advise me how i can make a search feature which allows the visitors to type a meaning and in return names come up which have those meanings. Its a bit like a name recomendation service. However I do not have any knowledge of how to create this and do not know any computer languages can someone tell me how it can be done?
Andy.

Andy,
If you're willing to invest the time to learn a little server-side programming (ASP/PHP/Perl) and a little databasing (SQL/Access/MySql) you can produce the functionality you describe.
If you don't have the time or just don't want to learn that stuff, it might be easier to use your host's (or your own) page/index based search engine, although I don't think this will produce the results you're looking for.
The best first step would be to see what your host offers (ASP/PHP/SQL/MySql) then you can decide whether it's something you want to tackle.
