I am having difficulty finding help on / or source code etc for a fairly basic website search that is PHP based. Does anyone have suggestions where to begin looking? It is a difficult subject to research, since search engines pull up all kinds of results that are not related (searching for 'php website search' pulls up any site that has a search feature for example).
Thanks

All depends how you want to do it, and how complex you want to make it. You can simply place content on pages in a database so that you can search it that way. Or you could mimic how large search engines work and spider your site to collect info on it and then use that data.
Just search google for a tutorial on searching with php and im sure youll get a lot of results.
