UPDATE ! a better version of this item is available as a PHP Search Engine. Please click here for more information: the simple PHP search engine.
Who is this for?
- Anyone with a normal HTML website that wants a quick and easy way to add a search field to their website
- A folder full of PDF ’s that you want to index and make searchable via your website
- Search feature on a intranet website that normal search engines cannot index
- Anyone not happy with restrictions in tools such as Google embedded search
- Adding an instant search feature to a new website, when tools like Google may take months to index every page, file, and PDF on your website
- Someone who wants file names in a folder (eg: word documents, zip files) to be searchable and returned in results
- Advanced users can use the php callback function to inject custom items into the result set, eg: by quering a mysql database of products for the search query (example provided)
Demo’s
Live Preview #1 Live Preview #2 Live Preview #3 Live Preview #4 Live Preview Admin Page
Features include:
- Easy to install and configure
- Searches all HTML files on your website
- Super fast searching!
- No database required – even easier to install!
- Finds matching file names (eg: searching for ‘report’ will find a file called ‘latest report .doc‘)
- Finds matches in HTML META tags
- Finds matches in url’s (eg: searching for ‘products’ will find a file called ‘/website/my- products .html‘)
- It will even search INSIDE PDF DOCUMENTS!
- The results are sorted by relevance in a page-by-page view similar to Google.
- The text that displays under each search result is trimmed to a certain length so it fits on the page nicely.
- Any matching keywords in the results are highlighted so the user can see why that result was returned.
- Advanced users:A custom callback function is included so you can insert your own results in with normal HTML results (eg: by querying a database of products for a match). This makes for great search integration between different products on an existing website.
Note: pdf document support is only available on Linux hosting accounts that have “pdftotext” installed. Please contact your hosting provider to check if pdftotext is installed.

- Plus many more advanced settings in the config.php file
- There is an easy to use admin page which helps you configure these.
