On a larger site it is possible that the script could time out before being able to index the whole site - this script is primarily intended for small to medium sized sites. If it does time out, you should still be able to search what has been indexed.

Note that this script will not index words contained in the words.txt file - you can add or remove from this file, depending on your needs. It contai ns common words that shouldn't be indexed for searching. The format is one word per line.

The format of the search form is simple. There are 3 fields:
