Type in one or more words into the text box, and change any of the other options if you like, and click the 'Start Search'. You'll be amazed how quickly you get the search results!
Note that this system only searches this site. It is NOT a general 'Web Search' engine!
This search system is made using client-side JavaScript, unlike other search systems that rely on server-side technology like CGI. When the page loads, the database is downloaded to your computer, and is searched by the script, giving you the search results instantly, unlike a CGI search where it takes a lot of time to send the query to the server, perform the search, and retrieve the results. Moreover, because the results page is generated on your computer, all search results can be displayed on one page, without worrying about download times. Even if the results page were hundreds of kilobytes long, it would take only a couple of seconds to load.
The database itself, is stored as efficiently as possible to minimise download time, so that it takes only a few seconds to load. Of course, no matter how long it takes to load, it needs to be done only once per session, unless you have disabled caching on your browser. However, while this system is great for small websites like mine, it may be impractical for large websites, with, say, more than a couple of hundred pages or so.
