LiveSearch - Searchengine for your Website V4.1

LiveSearch 4.1 January 30th 2019


The Searchengine for your Site

• Search for text, images and PDF files in your website
• allow_url_fopen OR Curl OR auto
• no database required
• hide content from being indexed
• just one PHP file needed for your search results

New since V4.1: pagination fix, added Bootstrap 4 pagination styles

The Search Engine for your Website.
You can use Live Search for smaller and medium websites. A database is not needed. The website will be crawled from the defined baseurl.
The links will be collected and the content cached – so future searches are faster. Already succeeded searches are stored in files too to increase search speed.
The textparts with the found searchstrings are cropped in the search results so only the part with the searchstring is displayed (like displaying the results on Google)

Various options help you to handle Live Search. A Search Word Cloud is available too.

A complete overview is available in the Online Documentation
