Site Search

When to use this

Use this type of custom search if you want to serve a search of your college or department Web pages. You can build a separate search page, then add links to this page on your existing pages. Or, you can incorporate a search box into your existing pages.

What it does

This code defines a form where visitors input and search for key words. It returns files found anywhere within the site you specify.

To modify the code for your own use replace your_site_directory with the directory name of your site.
