How Do I Create a Personal Website Search Engine in Dreamweaver?

1. Choose your search engine host or advertising network. Be aware that free, third-party search engine providers will usually place their own advertisements on your search results page.
2. Customize the search engine to match the design of your website. At this stage, you may need to add specific information about your website, such as the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) address of the home page. Follow the step-by-step instructions or 'Setup Wizard' and check that all information is correct.

3. Cut and paste the code into a text editor, such as Notepad or WordPad. Save this file with an appropriate name.
4. Load Macromedia Dreamweaver or your chosen web design program.
5. From the 'Program' menu, open the website page on which you wish to add the search engine code.
6. Select a location on the page for your search engine. Toggle between 'Code View' and 'Design View' if this helps you find the right place on the page.
7. Cut and paste the saved search engine code into the correct section of your website. You may need to place this between 'Division' (div) or 'Paragraph' (p) tags for this to work properly.
8. Toggle between 'Code View' and 'Design View' to check if the code is in place and the page layout is correct.
9. Save the page. Upload to your web server.
10. Visit your website online and check that your search engine works properly.
