I was not able to get this working. I followed the instructions exactly. When I try to open the admin page, the visuals display but there’s no content.
Line 97: <? replaced with Line 97: <?php
The script now works. Better fix your script!! That’ll be $100!!!
Now.. if I press “Click here to update the index,” it responds almost instantly “Update complete Click here to continue” and nothing seems to be indexed. No keywords I search for have results.
n/m, I got the Index update working under Windows. For whatever reason the folder was set to “read only.” I’m not sure why. I also give “Full Control” permissions to everyone. Thanks for the great script!
Glad you got this working. Please feel free to leave an item rating from your downloads page.
If you require further support please send in an email here: http://support.dtbaker.com.au/support-ticket.html as we do not check these discussion forums often.
Thanks,

I want to know, before I buy the script, if it is possobile test it on xampp, regards Orazio
yes it should work on xampp
Hi I have just purchased this script and it works perfectly. Question though. How do I hide Meta Keywords and Meta Descriptions because if I type in a keyword I get over 600 results of irrelevant pages because the meta tags have got the keyword contained. Can this be sorted?
Nice script though..
Thanks
Barry
Not sure it can be fixed. If the search term exists in the meta tag, then that result will be returned.
It may be possible to configure the script to ignore all meta tags when searching. only search the page content. would that work?
either way send in a support ticket and we should be able to assist more: http://support.dtbaker.com.au/support-ticket.html
I follow the instructions and index all the files but the searc results doesnt show nothing, give me an email please and i give you the ftp user and pass t5o let you take a look.
Thanks in advance
Does this allow for advanced searches such as pdf with contractor license number in California
or pdf + “contractor license” + “California”
ThanX
I purchased this PHP Search engine and am trying to use the iframe method but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to post the search form to the iframe on a different page. Basically I want to be able to put the search form on any page and submit the form to display the results on the search page. Can you help?
I’ve installed the search on my test site. The only results I get are jpeg images. No html page results at all. Please let me know what is going wrong?
Thank you,
Follow up.
I went to your support center and was surprised that you are charging for “fast” support. That is a little dismaying as I believe that sets up a class for those who can pay and for those who cannot. Its your decision how you want to handle your support but it does not seem very fair.
I would guess that a lot of people who purchase these products are web designers who have clients and deadlines. Admitting that a normal unpaid support issue could take days and days will be factored into my decision to purchase your products in the future when weighed against another developers product.
But the real reason I am following up is to tell you I cannot wait days and days for a response and have used your first version of the search PHP (successfully) which for some reason works great. Your most recent version, well I don’t know what to say. I expect I’ll have to wait until you respond through your help center.
One last thing your help center asks for a license. As I purchased the product in 2010 I don’t have that info. Just a receipt in my Themeforest area.
Hope you reconsider the payment thing.
Hi bluemoonstudioFor,
The licence code can be located from the downloads page, eg: http://codecanyon.net/user/bluemoonstudioFor/downloads
Thank you I found it. Do you want me to re-submit my request with it?
No that’s fine.
This is a great script. I installed it on my wife’s small business website about two years ago. The site has approximately 350 pages. I added a few regular expressions so that the script doesn’t index the irrelevant parts of the pages (site navigation etc.). You can see it here: www.kamya.com
The script works fine for one site but, in my case, it does not for multiple sites. Here is my code: $GLOBALS[‘_SEARCH_HTML_WEBSITES’] = array( “http://www.artistasplasticoscolombianos.com/”, “http://www.enbogota.net/”, “http://www.amarillasbogota.com/”, );
Like the script – very handy.
Could you help me out though – I am integrating this to an INTRANET site which requires a user to be logged in. Essentially $_SESSION[‘username’] must be set, otherwise they get kicked out.
How can I implement this into the script? Otherwise it is not able to index any page and results with 0 results.
Great little script, thanks! Having a little issue with includes in the header.php file. If I include the html directly in the file, it works fine. If I save it to a php file and include it, no header shows up at all, just the search results.
<?php include('../includes/include-top2.php'); ?>Is there something obvious I’m missing? I’ve tried “include_once”, etc but no dice.
My Website is multilingual. Is it possible to limit the search to a particular folder, say for example, the search results must show only French URLs if the Search function is called from “French” pages and it must not show the results from other language.
Would like to confirm this before purchasing. Thanks!!
Is it possible to do so it only search for pictures in a specific folder in my website? If it is possible, could you help me with that, i can pay you for your help.
Best and warmest regards from Sadjad //Sweden
I must say I was a little sceptical, but turned out to be a great script
Just 1 question, how can I customize the description of the results to use the <meta> description? I’m assuming it has something to do with the _SEARCH_CALLBACKS , but not sure how to go about, any advice would be welcome
Can fellow users help please? Has anyone seen this error?
Warning: file_put_contents(phpsearch_files/search_cache/search_data) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/html/search.php on line 241
Any ideas where to fix? Thanks for any insight.
Regarding my question don’t worry found it!
PatriceO , check the permissions of directory /phpsearch_files/seach_cache and make sure it has write permission. chmod 777
