Here's a coldfusion search example, and here's a php search example.
Search Results - Coldfusion
...
I've built a php object called ~jgreidy:cul_gsa_search() to handle the interaction with http://web.search.cornell.edu and parse the xml results it returns. I also have an example wrapper script and ~jgreidy:css file to display the search results. Here is the wrapper script and a test page. The code you will need to use will look like this:
| No Format |
|---|
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="search.css" /> </head> <body> <?php require_once("cul_web_search.php"); cul_web_search_form(); ?> <h2>Search Results</h2> <?php cul_web_search_results(); ?> |
Style the results
I've attached a ~jgreidy:css stylesheet for Cornell Google search results as a starting point. Certain results may be marked as 'Keymatch Results' and these get special styling.
Here is a nice page from New York University describing how to style the xml Google search results using xsl. I'll be happy to share any of this with anyone who is interested.
