may I ask how can I add an autocomplete for my simple search engine.
Below is the Index.php
<html>
<head>
<title>Title of your search engine</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action='search.php' method='GET'>
<center>
<h1>My Search Engine</h1>
<input type='text' size='90' name='search'></br></br>
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='Search source code' ></br></br></br>
</center>
</form>
</body>
</html>
And here's the search.php
<?php
$button = $_GET ['submit'];
$search = $_GET ['search'];
if(strlen($search)<=1)
echo "Search term too short";
else{
echo "You searched for <b>$search</b> <hr size='1'></br>";
$m_Host = "localhost";
$m_User = "root";
$m_Pass = "Kyrene";
$m_Db = "ensemble";
$connect = mysql_connect($m_Host,$m_User,$m_Pass) or die(mysql_error());
echo "<br />";
mysql_select_db($m_Db,$connect) or die(mysql_error());
error_reporting(error_reporting()&~E_NOTICE);
$search_exploded = explode (" ", $search);
foreach($search_exploded as $search_each)
{
$x++;
if($x==1)
$construct .="title LIKE '%$search_each%'";
else
$construct .="AND title LIKE '%$search_each%'";
}
$constructs ="SELECT * FROM test WHERE $construct";
$run = mysql_query($constructs);
$foundnum = mysql_num_rows($run);
if ($foundnum==0)
echo "Sorry, there are no matching result for <b>$search</b>.</br></br>1.
Try more general words. for example: If you want to search 'how to create a website'
then use general keyword like 'create' 'website'</br>2. Try different words with similar
meaning</br>3. Please check your spelling";
else
{
echo "$foundnum results found !<p>";
$per_page = 1;
$start = $_GET['start'];

I don't really have idea how should i start it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
