I am looking for a simple script search engine which uses database files. All I really need is an input field with a drop down menu. I need the drop down menu to select a specific database file to search. The idea is to enter a product description to search, and what type of product catagory to search. Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Hi, perhaps some PHP code with something like this might help you achieve your goals. For the user search form to select/search the database from your site: <h2>Search</h2> <form name="search" method="post" action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>"> Seach for: <input type="text" name="find" /> in <Select NAME="field"> <Option VALUE="db1">db1</option> <Option VALUE="db2">db2</option> <Option VALUE="db3">db3</option> </Select> <input type="hidden" name="searching" value="yes" /> <input type="submit" name="search" value="Search" /> </form> Here's the code to perform the actual search against your database. <? if ($searching =="yes") { echo "<h2>Search Results</h2>"; if ($find == "") { echo " Enter a search term"; exit; } mysql_connect("mysql.yourhost.com", "user_name", "password") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("database_name") or die(mysql_error()); $find = strtoupper($find); $find = strip_tags($find); $find = trim ($find); $data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE upper($field) LIKE'%$find%'"); while($result = mysql_fetch_array( $data )) { echo $result['db1']; echo " "; echo $result['db2']; echo " "; echo $result['db3']; echo " "; echo " "; } $anymatches=mysql_num_rows($data); if ($anymatches == 0) { echo "No database match"; } echo "Search Terms" .$find; } ?>

this will be tricky but i think it should work. I will have to self learn myself the basics of PHP but it appears to be very much what i am looking for. Thanks :)
