How do I develop a good search function for my Muse site? I have looked at AllSearch & Swifttype, but I want a clean search bar with no advertising etc. I have several sites in the mix and need a really good search function for one of them without having to pay annually to have this function. One time widget no problem, but the client doesn't want to pay annually for something. So if I can code it or buy it and then reuse it for future sites, that would be great.
I am new to Muse. I tried indexing the site with Zoom, then inserted HTML for a search bar, but no clue how to make the two connect. Zoom asked to upload the indexed files to the server, but don't want to do that unless I know what that will do. It was creating a folder public_html/search. All my files I currently upload through ftp are in public_html. Again wasn't sure what that would do and then how to access the files from there etc.
I am using Bluehost, but future projects may use other hosts or even their own. Thanks
