Hi!

The search result includes the value of html tags. i.e. It also searches the alt attribute and other attributes of img tags (

As a result HTML strings are in the search results.

The script should only search for plain text and avoid HTML tags. Do you think this would be possible?

Great script btw!

hey … I appreciate any help in the following issue,
I need to disable the ability of opening any link of the results in a new tab or window. In my other HTML pages, I am using javascript button and it is working fine, but can I alter the above code so that it views javascript buttons instead of hyperlinks ?

I hope this is not too weird ….
thank you in advance

@Kim: You can add any filetype the way the .html and .htm are added, just comma separate a quote included value I know it’s hard to stumble on static sites these days but when requirements are simple tools should be simple too.

Very nice Stratos It’s been so long since I’ve worked with a static site that I forgot that they don’t have an easy way to search them. Would the script work ok if .shtml was added to the array at the beginning?
