Hi friend, use the below coding to search web page. if (TextBox1.Text != "") { int count = 0,count1=0,count2=0,count3=0; string final="", final1="", final2="", final3=""; string address3 = "http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Special:Search?from=sidebar&search="+TextBox1.Text+"&go=Title"; HttpWebRequest request3=(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(address3); WebResponse response3=request3.GetResponse(); StreamReader reader3=new StreamReader(response3.GetResponseStream(),Encoding.UTF8); string result3 = reader3.ReadToEnd(); reader3.Close(); if (result3.Contains("Scholarpedia")) { int i = result3.IndexOf("Search results"); int j = result3.IndexOf(" "); final = result3.Substring(i, j - (i)); int k = result3.IndexOf("Search results"); }

Below code will help you in searching your website. It will scan through all the files in your application folder. Hope this helps you. Code Const fsoForReading = 1 Dim strSearchText strSearchText = Request("SearchText") 'Now, we want to search all of the files Dim objFSO Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Dim objFolder Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(Server.MapPath("/")) Dim objFile, objTextStream, strFileContents, bolFileFound bolFileFound = False For Each objFile in objFolder.Files If Response.IsClientConnected then Set objTextStream = objFSO.OpenTextFile(objFile.Path,fsoForReading) strFileContents = objTextStream.ReadAll If InStr(1,strFileContents,strSearchText,1) then Response.Write " """>" & objFile.Name & " " bolFileFound = True End If objTextStream.Close End If Next if Not bolFileFound then Response.Write "No matches found..." Set objTextStream = Nothing Set objFolder = Nothing Set objFSO = Nothing
