I am trying to make a keyword search. How to I have the form action search everything.

This is the code I am using:

<form method="post" action="search.php">
<input name="name" type="text" value="" class="field" id="search" />
<input name="submit" type="image" value="SUBMIT FORM" src="images/button-go.jpg" border="0">
</form>

It only returns the name of one on my tables when entered exactly. I have 'name' in numerous categories. I want it to return every instance of where it finds the keyword.

Please advise.

Hi,

Try changing your form field to this:

<input name="name_keyword" type="text" value="" class="field" id="search" />

This will search our table to find an instance of what you entered somewhere in the field "name"

Is this what you're looking for?

Hope this helps.
