I want to add a search bar that will allow people to type in a name and have it direct them to either a page, image or sample of a product maybe.. i could be missing this but is this possible?

Several things you can try here. First, CoffeeCup used to have a FLASH website Serch program. I'm not sure if it is still available. You might open a support topic and ask about it.

Or you can read through this... http://cuit.columbia.edu/add-search-box

Let us know if you find a solution or still need help. :cool:

Nice find Gunsmoke!

That would be awesome if CC did have something like that. Here is what i have used on some of my websites

You can set up a free account with them. Its pretty easy to use too! But as Gunsmoke said if CC has some solutions I would start there!

That looks pretty easy Steve. I'm just not into adding mor things that use advertising if you want the free version. Of course, small fee and no ads, but still ...

I actually have the FLASH website search from CC, I just don't know if it is still available as I couldn't find it on the site. Of course I'm still pretty well dosed up with drugs :P

And of course, really need an HTML5 solution anyway if you want to keep the Apple users happy :cool:
