Is there any way to add a search function to a regular website? By that i mean a static, non dynamic site, just wondered if anyone knew of any clever jQuery plug ins or such like, is it even possible without PHP/mySQL wizardry?

javascript and therefore jquery can ONLY "search" the document that it is running on/in. To search documents on the server requires server side code.

You can implement a Google "site search" but that will only search documents/URLs that are already indexed by Google.

Failing that take a look at FreeFind the cost of the "free" version is adverts on the results pages.

Sorry, should have mentioned it was a 'site' search i was referring to not web search.

Have you tried these add-ons- "GOOGLE SEARCH Features", it is a simple addon that lets you place a Google search box on your website.
