Searching a site?

When there is a search option on a web page (not search engine) what is really going on? Are all the pages that correspond to a site placed in a data base (by name i.e. xxxx.html) or is every thing in <BODY> tag of a page place in db or do you really search the content of each page.

Just a general question not specific to a particular means.

Thanks


Dave

A large proportion of database driven sites store their articles (and any other dynamic content) in text fields in a db. That way, it is very simple to search.

Most db-driven sites don't actually consists of HTML pages, but a single template file, which has the db content loaded into it. This usually occurs by selecting an articleid, that you will often see in the URL string.
