Search box tutorial required

I'm looking for a tutorial on search boxes. This I believe would make a useful tutorial for other users too.

I'm looking for a tutorial for creating a search box on my website. It seems a pretty basic thing to do well, at least it's a common feature on many sites but I don't know how to set it up. I've tried the help pages in Dreamweaver itself but I'm a bit lost with it to be honest.

This could be a useful one for other users too. My website has some 170 pages and I think it would be neat if people could type in a word and search trhough results based on that. As I have all those pages I don't have a direct 1 click link to all those pages. Sometimes users have to move through 2 or 3 intermediate pages.

Any advice / pointers would be welcome and a full tutorial would be brilliant.

Search website

Unless your website is entirely run via a database this might be more trouble then it worth to develop.

For www sites I would highly recommend atomz.com they provide a free (for upto 500 page) with a small logo on the results page.
I have used this on many sites I have developed, you can even customise the results page so it look 100% like your own site, and uses are non the wiser.
