We have created a web using Joomla CMS. In this site we want to implement a feature by which a use can search for text in our website as well as on the whole web using some search engine like google or yahoo.
Is there any extension available which will allow one to search web site it is hosted on as well the whole web in a Joomla based web site? The extension should allow user to select as to where they want to search in current web site or the web. Preferred option is a free extension.
I have been searching for something like this for 2 days but have not found one so I am asking for help here.
To provide searches on your website see the MySQL Full-Text Search Functions.
To search the web, just forget about it - you would need to store PB (petabytes) of storage.
Or use Google Custom Search.
I found my answer at: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/search-a-indexing/site-search/9011
Thanks everyone for their time.

I would like to create a search on a site that if possible would look at both public and private areas to complete a search. The only search for Symfony I can find is http://symfony.com/doc/current/cmf/bundles/search/introduction.html and support for it stopped a long time ago.
Is there anything that has taken over from this project?
I would have liked to have used something like the elastic stack etc, however, I am running this site on a cPanel account, therefore I do not have permission to install applications on the server (unless in something like installatron). Are there any Symfony bundles anywhere that can do a scan of your site and index searches? Or maybe something that will do the front end and do a live search of the content of your site if its a CMS held in the database or something?
I would suggest you to install ElasticSearch and the FOS/ElasticaBundle.
If the learning curve is too hard for you, you can also check Algolia which is great and have great support.
Finally you have the option to put the Google Search Box on your site with zero effort.
I am pretty new to localization. Having never had to build multilingual site, I have never built something to serve a specific language.
We currently have example.com, example.co.za and example.gr. Our Wordpress site is hosted on example.co.za in English and is served to all 3 domains in English. We want, when a user hits example.gr, to serve a Greek site. But, we only want one Wordpress site that we update and maintain. I understand that we will need to translate our content into the languages we require, but that's not an issue.
Based on the above, I have a few questions.
What would be the best solution for this?
Is it possible running 1 WP instance and achieving this, and how would I do it?
Is there a way that I can change locale by checking which domain was requested?
You can use a translation/multisite plugin like MultilingualPress Pro, they link several blogs together and help you with translating etc.
Use a multisite install, every language is an own blog (they can be duplicated with this plugin for example) and can be managed independently, but they all get connected through 1.
You could, but 1. for example automatically detects and redirects based on the browser language, which seems to me like a better solution. This works fine for me in a similar environment.
(I am in no way connected to the linked, paid plugin, but I am using it in two sites and am fine with the work it does.)
I am looking to create a web site that will need to exchange information with a Filemaker Pro (version 11) database. Using PHP I can create simple web apps that submit and retrieve data from Filemaker. I would however like to use a CMS framework (such as Drupal) to allow users to control access to the site and update site content (blog posts, images, etc ...).
Is it possible to use Drupal as a "shell", controlling access to certain pages and allowing site editors to modify content, while embedding a PHP page/form to interact with the Filemaker data? I would be planning to use MySQL for Drupal and the custom "web apps" would access Filemaker. Thanks for any help.
Have you ever heard of the expression "there's a module for that?" It's used quite a bit in the Drupal world. And yes, for Filemaker, there is a Module for That!. It's called, the Filemaker module, see more detail at http://drupal.org/project/filemaker.
Now I've never tested it, so it may not give you everything you want. But the beauty of open source is that you can always contribute what it doesn't already have. Or at least see how they did it to see if its worth it for you to try your own integration.
Now this module is one version behind current, so maybe you can learn Drupal by learning to upgrade the module. There's great guides on how to do this.
Does anyone know any good 3rd party license based or open source search services (like Yahoo BOSS) that index and search through content?
I'm creating a niche job board in CodeIgniter and I'd rather not have my search be in PHP.
I'd like the service to be customizable enough to support refining content, and location based searching. So a really closed tool might not be the right fit.
Maybe try apache lucene: http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/
You should try sphider search
you can download sphider folder by

then follow this link for codeigniter

I have a website which has about 200 to 300 static public pages. I am required to bring about some kind of search functionality on the website which will search all of its public pages. I don't want to use external tools like Google site search, etc. Is there a tool or open source code that will index the content and then display the search results? I am looking for a tool that will maintain its own index and run on the server along with the website. If I can add items to the index and manage it that would be a plus. I have looked at Zend Search Lucene, if there is a tool out there, I am hoping to use it before I make one myself.
Zend_Search_Lucene is a very good choice. It is compatible with the Java version of Lucene (I mean the index files). It can index html documents, it's quite simple to use and configure and has a good documentation.
Using Solr as a service is an option as well.
Sphinx is another tool you might want to look at.
You can try -
Sphider is a lightweight web spider and search engine written in PHP, using MySQL as its back end database. It is a great tool for adding search functionality to your web site or building your custom search engine. Sphider is small, easy to set up and modify, and is used in thousands of websites across the world.
