Searching Through A Text Document "search Engine"?
Mar 16, 2009
I just wanted to know if I have a text document that contains html code,how would I search through the code and retrieve all the data related to the search. i.e. by creating a search engine. The problem I face is if the format of the tag names change in the html txt document then it won't work. Therfore using DOM to retrieve the text would fail. Is there anything other than DOM that I can use to parse through the text document, so even if the code changed the search engine would still work.The aim is to search through a html "text document" and retrieve the data that the user wants.
I am new to Javascript and I downloaded JSE internal search engine v 1.0a from CodingForums. It works fine in all browsers other than ie6 and ie7. Have confirmed that other javascripts are working in these browsers so it is not my browser settings.
I have never done this before and I need some help. Can someone tell me how can I create a search engine within my website to search through the text on a certain page? This is the site I am talking about:http://www.21stcenturyworld.com/community.html
I have 2 boxfield in my search engine...when i write somthing on my 1st text box and press the clear button it clear me the thing i wrote in the text field....when i write somthing and drag it from 1st text box to the 2nd and then press the clear button.the letter in the 2nd textfield jump the 1st one.....and doesnt clear herself...
How would you create a text field that allows users to select different search engines, and then search their keyword. Essentially what I'm looking for is a something similar to the default multiple search field that you see in Firefox and Safari.At this point in time I have the multiple search feature implemented. But all I really have is a <select> next to a <input>. What I want is something that combines the two. Basically I want the look and feel of Firefox/Safari default multiple search field.
I'm wondering if the <input type="search" /> has the capability of adding search engines to the end of the drop down list. In Safari if you click on the magnifying glass on the search box, you'll see search engines at the very bottom. I'm wondering if I can do that to my webpage using <input type="search" />, but having my own search engines specified.
I've been the last few days around a script that I can't make it work. This script is a search engine, when you look for something say the word "titanic", it shows you a list of results with numbers, being the first link with the higher number (kinda like a score), and then after u click the link you want he goes to the respective page. Now I want him to skip the results page, and directly open the first link that he founds on the page.
The Script <!-- Begin var item = new Array(); // Just enter as many additional pages that you want to search, then fill in he additional listings for each page. // "Page Name","path","Page Title","Many,Key,Words","Descriptive Comments" c=0; item[c]=new Array("centerif.htm","","titanic","index,main,start,home,front","Demonstration search engine data about an imagined but probable internet site."); .....
I was wondering what could be wrong? There is this ajax code that I'm trying to work on and its supposed to show the results in a div tag when submitting a search form, but theres no results.
i have a free js script for a search engine, pretty simple, i define the key words and the .html associated to them. But when i enter a word he starts listing the matches he found and rate them by number, being the highest number the most probable match!
Now what i want to is to SKIP the listing, and redirect automatically for the .html of the first match he finds .
The script:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> <!-- Original: Dion (biab@iinet.net.au) --> <!-- Web Site: http://www.iinet.net.au/~biab -->
I want to make a search field for my site where the user can enter his query then select which site he would like to search the query on. Like www.torrents.to has, basically just like that. I know nothing about coding, could somebody write the code for me and tell me where to put my links, directory stuff etc...?
However, I was wondering - I realize there does not seem to be a "standard" way to do this (without additional libraries), but is there any "hacky" method that can be used to get XPath support in IE? What I mean is for parsing the loaded HTML document.
I have two js scripts running on my project at the moment, one is uses mootools and the other uses jquery-1.2.3min, both work but not if they are on the same page.The mootool adds the pop out effect to a form box and the jquery enables the nav switch for 2 boxes that contain different form fields for a search engine. Now I've been reading up on the two and have decided to favour jquery which means I have to reproduce the same effect in mootool but with my limited knowledge it's proven rather hard.The mootool code:
var isExtended = 0; var height = 165; var width = 240;
Is it possible to have a text box input searching for the entered text on another webpage in the same way Find In Page would do? I have a webpage that I want users to input an item, and that this will open the targeted webpage and bring you to (and highlight) the matched item(s) like find in page does. Is this possible or is the easiest way to just make users open the link to the target page and just complete the find in page search there?
I have some elements (table, div, ...) which contains content. Now I want to search an certain text and do something if one element contains this text:
Example:
searching for 'schnitzel ' Code 1 <div> <p>some text</p> </div>
[Code]......
now I tried the :contain filter, but it don`t work.
i am creating a search method tht searches the string entered in the text box in the given page having table. i want to highlight the found word ( matching part )...i can do that but with createTextRange its getting the first match word and than exits
is it possible to create certain part of the page and not the whole page(document.body.createTextrange()) for search like only one column of table and not the whole page contents
I would like to utilize this script where I could pass the string of words to another page.
Meaning, search for the text, actually a word, then take the two words following the searched text and have them passed to the next page...I have tried to "alert" the words, but have no success.
I have tried to modify the code using the following, but the result just posts a "-1" in my alert popup.
As you can see I modified the code from the original thread in the third block of "for" code. also, I added an "alert" tag. One more thing, I added a function call for the form button.
The code is below:
<script type="text/javascript"> var count = 0; var itemList = new Array(); var oldText = "";
The javascript below is looking for the word 'margaret thatcher' in the body and surrounding it with a link. It's lower-case but the script is ignoring the case so that won't matter. But, the problem is that because Margaret Thatcher is a proper noun, it will be capitalized in the body text yet replaced with lower-case text. How can I modify this script to look for the word while ignoring the case but use the same text it found as the replacement instead of using the text object?
I have a search field on the website, and when I type a word to search, it search good, but after preforming the search, the search term from search text field disappears and become the default 'Search' word.
How can I make search term stay in search field after preforming a search ? For example, when I type into the search field 'JavaScript' I want that term to stay in search field and after the search is done.
I'm wondering if there is a way to search or find text within a page using js? I have searched through the web and it seems that it is possible, but everything I read is very convoluted and seems a bit complex for what I need. I've also searched this forum but didn't find what I need.My goal is to search through a page to check for the string "Submitter Draft In Progress". I want to then use the results in an IF statement.
I'm pretty much lost at javascript, and unfortunately can use php to accomplish this, so here goeI have existing html page that includes a Week #. ie, 1, 2, 3, 5.... and so on.I'd like to be able to have a text, csv, or similar file that I can update on frequent basis that will list a Week # and than custom field of some type. (likely a date or unix time stamp).Is there a way to open a text file (or csv, etc) in javascript. Than be able to compare and get the correct data?Off the top of my head, I think its possible, and would involve something like the following?1. Create a csv file like below1, this is custom, my other custom2, some more, and this too3, and somthing, see spot run2. Next would be have a javascript open and read the file. You would assign a variable name to each 1st, 2nd and 3rd item of each line.Than the script would loop through each line until it found a a match of Variable
