Big robots and big explosions: yes. Shia LaBeouf, Michael Bay, and a rubbish plot: NO NO NO NO NO NO! It's rubbish.

it’s tidy, but the technology is dead simple - could have something similar set up in an hour or two

Almost a challenge then……
Mine’s on my site but errrr seems to need a return key hit to work.
Wordpress K2 theme has something very similar in it but is broken when you use sidebar widgets at the moment. It is a java thing so I understand!

This is not difficult at all…
JavaScript listens for changes in the text box, then used an XML request to a server side search script. The XML script simply replaces the HTML contents of the DIV that holds holds the results. Ten mins later and it would be up and running. About as simple as Web2.0 gets.
Not even an ActiveX app in sight!

Jon, we can discuss my rates if you wish…
I’m not sure how wordpress stores stuff. Is it just a mySQL table? If so, it would be even easier as you don’t need to build any indexing/spidering nonsense.
The mac mini is v. exciting - had my first blue screen of death on Friday afternoon - i felt just like a windows user!

Am I hell.
t’internet had gone down at my mothers place yesterday, and dispite the fact that she is a mac user, all the infrastructure at her place is win2k. F*ing hell windows servers are painful.
One of them had got locked up (despite its ony task in life being sharing an internet connection), after a staggering 10 days of being connected. restarted it, and tthere were two services that failed to load properly - took me ages to work out what they were are how to fix them (why on earth do system files eat themselves!). Sorted them.
Next problem - getting the thing to talk to the domain controller. Machine wouldn’t connect to it - spent half an hour trying to establish a connection before thinking that the problem might be on the other box. Restarting the domain controller allowed me to log in. Why?
The thing is… at the moment, the most humans ever on the network is two, one on a mac and one on a PC. Does anyone else think that a domain controller based network with a dedicated internet gateway machine and a windows 2k file server is overkill for a fifty something woman who just needs to surf the web and manipulate stuff in photoshop? I would love to rip it all out, give her a broadband router, a copy of Tiger server and a break from all this windows bull.
