Well, if the details are regular HTML pages then it's usually easy to call up a regular websearch engine to get to that page... a button can go to "http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Amystore.com+"; with your search terms after, for instance. But if the data you want to return is in a database rather than a series of HTML files, then you'd submit a query to your database to get the info you're seeking, then display it in whichever way your project desires. I'm not sure I could answer, because a lot depends on where the data is, when it gets turned into a display, how you'd like to search... different projects seem like they'd pursue different paths here...? jd -- John Dowdell .
