small search script

husoft has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello monks!

I made a small search for the local files of my site, click here to see it working. as you can see, to show results Im using the title of every page found but I also want to add the line where it found this particular string the user searched for... (google style). I tried doing it locally with grep thinking to make it trough my script exporting results to a file then importing it to a var and printing the results, but it shows the html tags and everything. Any ideas?

Heres a totally non-perl related idea, why not just goto google and get a sexy google search for your site, allowing you to harness the full power of google?	[reply]

Instead of indexing the HTML, I'd personally index a text version obtained with tools such as HTML::FormatText. Cheers Antonio The stupider the astronaut, the easier it is to win the trip to Vega - A. Tucket	[reply]

Gee! Does it work like ... `find . -name '*.html' -exec grep 'whatever' {} \;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Here's an idea: Use a content-type of text/html for html, instead of text/plain!	[reply]
