26647Using Meta Tags for search resultshttp://www.php-scripts.com/php_diary/010600.php3Searching each HTML page for keywords could become pretty involved in a dynamic environment and put a lot of load on the server. It would be more efficient for me to allow users to search a smaller pool of specific information. While writing and creating these diary entries I have tried to use descriptive meta tags so that these diary entries would draw the attention of external search engines, but also so that when I got to the point where I would create an onsite or internal search engine, I'd have a useful pool of information to work with. Also, I went back through every page and updated the meta tags so that they would be properly indexing the content in that days diary entry.PHP > Tips and Tutorials > SearchingOct 16, 2006
In this tutorial, we will discuss a method of searching web pages for keywords. We will provide methods for exact keyword matching and a type of fuzzy search. Fuzzy searching enables us to find words that are similar to the keyword we searched for. This is extremely useful when the search for an exact keyword does not produce any results. In fact, in our search script we will only utilize fuzzy searching when we do not get results from a normal keyword search.
