Search process

I am looking at writing a search scripts that can search MySql database using PHP and then display the results in order what the customer ask.

The database would hold
picture, address, price, details

I would like to be able to search by
address, price, detail - the script could be
called the search by one or two catagories.

then display the results on the another page

example - search a database that contains houses for sale


Thanks for any help,

Clint

Joe and others,

Need help with the search section, basically what would be the best way setup the script to search the database and display the correct data.

I have database setup and can upload the data, need help on search script and the output section.

Thanks,

That should give you a fairly good idea of how to build a search engine for your site as his thread is pertaining to exactly what you are trying to accomplish; real estate listings that is...

Let me know if that helped you out any and also post back here if you get stuck with your code...
