website that will search the text in a database
Thanks in advance
JohnWhy can't you build it yourself?
It's very easy - but there are multiple considerations that a single
component could never narrow down...
First, you need to decide which field(s) you are searching. You can use a
DropDownList or TextBox
Then, you need to decide how you want to display the results. You could use
a Grid, or a customized way of displaying, say, like a DataList - -
The rest is just connecting to the dabase, querying the database and
retrieving the results, basically.
Is there something you're looking for that's different than what I've
described here?

Hi David
Thanks for the help
I would want to be able to search the database for specific strings like you
do in a standard search engine so the user could search for exact string
matches or keywords.
I could set up most of what you have talked about but I imagine you would
need to use some advanced regular expressions and I wouldn't know where to
begin
John
