Hi there,

Try searching "database search" and "full-text search" in Google - you will soon understand the scale of the problem you are trying to tackle and that unless you started with your site set-up to be searched, what you are trying to do it is very hard. If I'm right, CodeProject uses tags and keywords to minimise the actual amount of "searching" it has to do for articles and then refines that based on article titles/descriptions etc. It is a limited search.

I would suggest the easiest way to do searching on your site is to look at putting a Google Search box on your site. Google will allow you to embed a Google search box that specifically searches your site meaning you don't have to worry about searching, provided that is that your website is search engine friendly.

Hope this helps,
Ed

If I'll use Google search in my web page and search any text from within my website then google search it as a whole or its search links within my website?

Google will use it's search engine to search your site - i.e. searching in your site's embedded search box is the same as searching through the main Google home page except that the box embedded in your page will only return results for your website.

Go to the Google website and find out - I don't know off the top of my head.
