I need help developing a keyword search section.
first question. table. should i just put the text in a field and query it. Or do i put keywords in a keyword field and allow the user to query that. Also if anyone knows of any tutorials i could read i would appreciate it.

thanks
 
Well, you can do both actually. Maybe you would like your content admin to specify the keywords that have preference over your free-form text field. You would then maybe query the keyword field, then the free-form text field using the Instr function or regular expressions (preferably).


regards,
Brian
