Hi guys!

What free site search tool do you use for customers searching your site for a certain product? I see my atomz search is identified as a broken link, sending my customers out of my site. :eeww: Oh well, the results were always sort of unclear anyway...

Thanks, BizEmama :safegrin:

Not sure if it's exactly what you're after, but I've been happy with the Fluid Dynamics Search Engine:

Wow, that looks nice. Results are clear and easy to understand. Any other suggestions, folks? :kewl:

Search them here forums and you'll find threads on both search engines (http://www.aota.net/forums/showthread.php?t=18428) and stats packages (http://www.aota.net/forums/showthread.php?t=17211). These topics were pretty well covered...

Hmm, yes, I'm seeing that now. Rather new at all this, and I'm locating resource pools as I go. Thanks for the guidance.

I think a Google search box on your page with an option to search just your site is best. I added it to my site a few years ago and it was very easy, but now I can't seem to find the Google page where the instructions are (a stupid search).

P.S. I use it all the time to find stuff on my own site.

I have developed my own PHP search tool for my site.

And it wasn't that hard :yeah:

Hi. I use FreeFind, which has a free option for small sites. Since the site I manage has almost 500 pages, we use a paid version, but it's pretty cheap, nonetheless.
