Re: [php] static html search engine for php static html site

the whole site is in php and all content should be searchable. I have tried zoom site search [http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/] but the result was not good. I just need a simple site search functionality that I can install on a share hosting. it should be able to serach through the whole site files and index it. Do you know you of any pre-made solutions that works? thanks On Mon, Dec 26, 2011 at 11:32 PM, Ashley Sheridan <ash@ashleysheridan.co.uk>wrote: > > > Izo duwa <izoduwa@gmail.com> wrote: > > >The site is not a cms site but static html site, I just want to add > >search > >option to it but needs an alternative to google site search > >integration. i > >cant not use solr because its runing on a share hosting. > > > >thanks > > > >On Mon, Dec 26, 2011 at 9:07 PM, Ashley Sheridan > ><ash@ashleysheridan.co.uk>wrote: > > > >> > >> > >> HELP LINE <izoduwa@gmail.com> wrote: > >> > >> >The site content is not using any database but hardcoded on template > >> >html > >> >and it's runing on a share hosting.
