That depends. Are you talking about the way the search box slides out, or the actual search functionality itself?

The search bar funtionality itself. I just found how it slides out with this website: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...lapcontent.htm
But I don't know how to actually make it search for the words.

Thank you

Well if you're using a database you can search the DB by using a SELECT statement, i.e.
SELECT * FROM TableName WHERE ColumnName LIKE '%SearchTerm%'

If you just have a load of static files, you will need a way to to do it with a server side language such as ASP.NET, ASP or PHP. Your best bet would probably be to search Google for pre made scripts. I saw a great one once that uses the Windows indexing service but you need full access to your server to set it up...

Here's the article that uses the indexing service, obviously it will only work on a Windows server:
