Hi guys,
I urgently require a search website function for a website I have built. I need it to simply search my website by keyword and deliver the results in an organised manor.
I have been iven a JAVASCRIPT solution which looks like it could work but I am an amature when it comes to JAVASCRIPT and have no idea which part of the code I need to edit to make it work with my site! I have some PHP experience but no JAVASCRIPT.
Below is the code – could someone please explain which bits to edit? Thank you for your time – you are properly saving my bacon!
