An important feture of every website is search. An effective site search engine allows your visitors to find the information that they require with minimal effort. This adds to the overall ease of use of your website resulting in a better user experience and as a result…repeat visitors. Phpdig is a free search engine for your website. Although it takes some elbow grease to get it working as avertised, once it is up and running you are left with a powerful, self-sustaining search engine that gets the job done.

PhpDig is a web spider and search engine written in PHP, using a MySQL database and flat file support. PhpDig builds a glossary with words found in indexed pages. On a search query, it displays a result page containing the search keys, ranked by occurrence.

Lets face it, unless you have a photographic memory, no developer can remember all the different functions, options, tags, etc. that exist. Documentation can be cumbersome at times, thats why I like cheat sheets. They are quick references that feature the most commonly forgotten things on a specific topic.

Imagine if web applications could store megabytes of data on the client-side, in the browser, both persistently and securely. No server needed.

Imagine if web applications could work offline with the click of a button. Want to access your web based word processor when you are not on the network, with your private files stored privately, right on your own machine and not on some server? Now you can.

Even better, imagine if all of this worked across the existing web; 95% of the existing browsers on the web could start using these features right now, with no software installs or funky new browsers.

What could you build if you had these tools? How about a truly collaborative, web-based word processor with client-side storage for your private documents, as well as offline access? Maybe an Ajax RSS aggregator with client-side caching of the feeds you read and offline access? An offline, web-based book reader using data from the Internet Archive’s Open Library would be cool.
