Site Search

lbbb

I want people to have the ability to search my site via zip code or city. Can anyone assist me with options or a quote to add to my site?
Thanks, Mika

To search by zip or city, that information needs to be on your site or in a database.
Alternatively you can add a site search (free from google) which may work for you.

I will have all the information ( data ) within my site...I can try google..Do you have any other suggestions besides google???

As Roland said, you can add a Google search for your site, or set up a search script to find information in a database, if that is where your data is stored. A search script would take some programming to set up and implement, depending on your site and where the info is stored.

The google site search does a good job providing the user a search of all your site`s content.
An example - I added a site search to this golf lesson web site.

So, you went to google and created a site search?
You specified the site you want to search? Entire sites: Specifying www.mysite.com/* will include all the pages on www.mysite.com.
 
and made refinements and got the code (not iframe code) and inserted it in to your home page html?
 
If you have any questions about the process you can PM me.

Mika,
If you are looking for a way to add this without coding , try www.coffeecup.com , and look for the web site search..here is the link: http://www.coffeecup.com/website-search/ a little pricy but may be easy to use for you.

LBBB,
If you want to add search to your web site, as where a customer types in a zip code, you need to add a database to your site. What I mean is, you`re going to have to spend some cash on a developer. If you want to embed a sitesearch like the google search, it`s not going to work, since you want to search by zip code. If you wanted a regular search then its a good idea..
