Search Script Don't Search Empty Values
I'm trying to make a search script. I don't want the script to search for empty values if you don't write anything in one of the searchfields. Does anyone know how to do this, or where I can find examples of advanced searchscripts? Code:
Search DB Using Multiple Search Criteria On Web Form
I have a mysql database with a table with fields ( surname, company, speciality etc..) I created a simple form so people can search using criterias ( a search field which query all fields , a drop down with the list of surname, drop down with the list of speciality, drop down with a list of countries ). My system works perfectly well as long as I use only one criteria, However if I select "Plumber" as the speciality and "Scotland" as country, I will get all the entries for Scotland ( even if the speciality is not "plumber") and I will get all the entries for "Plumber" ( even if the coutry is not "Scotland"). Code:
Highlighting Of A Search Term In Search Results
I am writing this simple MySQL and PHP search and what I want to do is to highlight the search term in the results when they are displayed on the screen. I am able to get it to work. but the seach term will only be highlighted(Make it Bold) only if it matches exactly to what was typed in the search box. Is there a way where the search term doesn't have to exactly match in order for it to be highlighted? Below is the code where I change the the search term into bold to be displayed on the screen. <?php $result_manufact = str_replace($splitstr, "<span style="color: red; font-weight: bold;">$splitstr</span>", $manufact); ?>
Search Results ($num_rows) Does Not Match $search Results (PHP,MySQL)?
For example, when I do a database search for a term I get 2 results but the $num_rows says there are 3 results. I suspect it's because there are similar keywords within different search fields of the SQL statement. But I am stumped as to how I can change this. Any Suggestions? the code:
Possible From Search Box
Is it possible from search box; to remove word like and ? or any non-key words. I do not want to build a array of words for them to search. All I am saying is - User try to search for and, I want to kill the word and. Also when user search Blast you can enter last and if the word Blast is in a sentence it will show in relsults how do you stop this from happening? Here another subject: If the user miss-spells a word offer them the correct spelling? or sim word. This sounds pretty advance where can I learn how to do something like this?
Search
I'm having a problem with a php3/mysql results display. The problem seems to lie in the search parameters passed to the script, and the Next/Previous links. The parameters are passed from a dropdown boxed called "prodname". The results display aren't relevant to the queries, and somethings aren't displayed at all (even with the wildcard). I've tried different variations on the $prodname%, but with no improvement. Code:
Particular Search
I have a image-website that displays various photos. each photo's are labelled with integers. I would like to know if there is a method of converting the integers into a string and gettin a count of the number of downloads of a particular image. For eg: these are the images dloaded by a single user IMAGES:- 7001,7025,7841,7459,7584,7741,7415 Assuming that i have assigned each of these variables to a string as $picname=$7001. Now i would like to search thru the list of numbers and find out which photo was downloaded how many times i.e no. of hits of each picture. I thought of using an case block but then the I had to place a counter for each picture seperately. Is there anyother better way of producing the same result?

Search Within A Search Within A Search
I'm having some trouble with the search field that i am setting up using PHP and HTML, I am connecting to a database to return proper information pertaining to something being searched. I originally set up a search to work like this : $SQL = " select id, name from repository where upper(name) like upper('%$search%') "; $Result=SubmitQuery($db,$SQL); while (OCIFetch($Result)) { $repo_id = OCIResult($Result,"ID"); $name = OCIResult($Result,"NAME"); echo" and display the results accordingly, This was one teer of the searching, the database would then search modules and files just as seen above, but I ran into the problem where the correct values are not being passed, so it was searching all repositories, then all modules, then all files.... is it possible to search like this: Repository #1 ---Module #1 in Repo#1 ------files in Module #1 ---Module #2 in Repo #1 ------files in Module #2 Repo #1 etc. Repository #2 --Module #1 in Repo #2 etc...... is this possible to do a search under a search under a search with SQL PHP?

Php And Search Engines
Ok I really love php and wish to use it for a lot of my web projects. However there is one main downside especially for e-commerce and that is that the php and database generation is not indexed by search engine spiders. Which is unfortunate since in my testing dynamically generated sites seem to be much quicker than static ones. So what is the answer, I have developed a few scripts which index the database to produce static html, however is there a better way?

Date Search
I'm trying to search a range of dates on a sql server using PHP. Giving it one date and it will look for something X many days before and after that particular date. The problem i'm running into is the fact that the sql server reads dates like yyyy-mm-dd and php does it mm-dd-yyyy. I'm trying to use the sql commands to search for the date, but the problem i'm having with that is my dates have dashes while if i use the add_date() or sub_date() function the input don't use dashes. take a look $sql="SELECT * FROM search_data WHERE date_sub($date,interval $number_of_days day) < $date AND date_add($date,interval $number_of_days day) >= $date ORDER BY file_name";

Regeps Search
I'm using regular expressions to search for two words separated by 1 or more space characters (tabs, newlines etc), but I could really do with the position at which it finds this in the string buffer. ereg() only returns true or false, so is there a way to find out the position using regeps?

Php And Search Engines
I've got a site built around a few php programs, when the page is requested it uses htaccess to call a php program with the page name. This page name is used to extract title/description/keywords/h1/h2/alttext/copy etc from a database and then populate the page. The site works well and I only have 2 or 3 programs to run a large site based on a database. The problem is when I run it through the spider test on this site it doesn't pick up the title/description or keywords. Is this something to do with the page being built on the fly, and if so does anyone have a solution to this?

Search Algorithm.
I'm trying to master the ability to search through large amounts of data for what the user really wants. I have a list of words (viewable at http://bludwulf-bsd.dyn.dhs.org/glass/definition.php along with the current incarnation of my search engine) that I'd like to search through. So far I've tried to use the 'similar_text()' function, but I now realize that's quite hopeless. Case in point, if i have an entry called 'air hoses and related topics' and the user searches for 'air', it will be ranked low because its a comparatively long entry name. (Other entries are shorter, most of them one word) Is there a better way to do a simple search like this? I don't want to simply search each entry for the search string, as lots of them are italian words which are frequently miss-spelled.

[FAQ] Search Engines And PHP
Q: Is PHP search engine friendly? Q: Will search engine spiders crawl my PHP pages? A: Spiders should crawl anything provided they're accessible. Since, nowadays most of the websites are been developed with PHP, you are not supposed to doubt that. As a proof that PHP pages could be crawled and indexed, refer this Google search <http://www.google.com/search?q=inurl%3Aphp+filetype%3Aphp> Q: How can I submit my website to search engines? Should I use PHP to submit? A: Consult their documents. It is always better to categorize your site and submit to DMoz. Usually, PHP has no role here; but however some search engines (specifically Google and it's sitemap protocol) provides option to inform them the changes using a ping mechanism and here PHP could be used. Refer: http://dmoz.org/add.html http://www.google.com/webmasters/ https://www.google.com/webmasters/s...s/en/about.html Q: How to indentify the spider? A: You may identify it by user agent and or IP. Refer: http://www.iplists.com/ http://joseluis.pellicer.org/ua/ http://www.pgts.com.au/pgtsj/pgtsj0208d.html Q: Will search engines follow redirection? If so, what URL will be get indexed? A: Yes, the final URL Q: Will search engines handle cookies? A: No. Q: Will search engines handle sessions? A: No, if your session is cookies based. If there is a provision for URL rewriting (ie, trans sid feature), it will handle or maintain sessions. Q: All the pages in my website use session. But, I don't want the URL rewriting as it results in uglier URLs (appended with PHPSESSID). A: Then, you may selectively enable trans sid feature only for the search engine spiders by sniffing their user agent and or IP. Q: Will search engines save the links with the session id (PHPSESSID) in the URL? A: Majority of the search engines automatically remove the session id in their index. But, there are also report that few search engines (more specifically MSN) don't remove them; in that case there are chances that the session of more than one user (when they visit the site via search engine) may be shared/hijacked provided there is not enough measures taken into account. Q: How to optimize my site? A: Make the contents accessible. Be sure to validate your HTML and stick to W3C standards; this will help the search engines to see your access your contents easily. But, also remember that most of the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) theories are big hoax and it's a crazy business. If you provide good quality of service in your site, hardly it won't get visibility. Refer: http://www.w3.org/QA/ Q: I prefer more visitors via search engines. What should I do? A: As said, believe in the good quality and you'll definitely be known. You may also opt to advertize in the search engines, if you strongly believe in advertizements. Q: Please give me some quick hacks for my website to get more visitors through search engines. A: Since, many search engines are now contents based (previously and still few search engines used META keywords), enough keywords on the page might help. So, some people use the cloaking technique, in which different content is been provide to spiders by sniffing their user agent string and or IP. Some people use also keyword stuffing techniques, in which the keywords are largley stuffed to a page and probably hidden using CSS or so. And, all such "fooling" techniques are highly against to the search engines' TOS and as a penalty the site might even be get blacklisted. Some search engines like Google even employ people to evaluate the quality of their search results and provide option to lodge complaints against any "fooling" sites. Q: What is PR? A: In search engines context, PR would mean Google's PageRank (tm) algorithm that determines the rank of the page determined through the number of pages linking to it and the rank of the linking pages. Hence, PageRank can be used to find the popularity of that page. However, this would hardly affect the position of a webpage on a search page and can safely be ignored (Some SEO business people may not agree with this) Refer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank
