I am in the process of making a website. I am a noob at it. A few people working on it. But i am the main "idea" guy. My vision is that people who enter the site can search for the term they are interested in, and the site (without opening a second window) displays the search results in "house" is it feasible? Is it difficult?

I assume using an external engine may be out of question.

It depends on a variety of factors but this is what I think of straight away; you would need a server-side script engine like PHP to do this for you:

  1. If your site holds the content in a database like MySQL or PostgreSQL or whatever, it is a matter of a "SELECT" statement.

  2. Or if you have it all in various HTML files, you need PHP to scan all your files.

You may also need to consider caching to improve performance.

So if you have the possibility to use PHP or something on the server side it might be done in a day or so, depending on how "noob" you are.

Lykke til.
