For the last two weeks I’ve been living an unusually isolated life. Specifically, one without a home internet connection.

Now that you’ve all finished gasping with shock, I’ll continue.

During this time, I’ve learned a lot about how much my normal life style (not just my work, which is naturally web based) is set around internet access. I retrieve almost all the information I normally need during the day through the internet. Restaurant menus, opening and closing times, phone numbers - all retrieved through internet search. If I have curiousity which I simply must satisfy, I’ll query Wikipedia.

But recently I’ve had to survive without that kind of access. I can still go off to cafes and restaurants and access free wireless service with some regularity, thankfully. This makes it at least possible for me to continue with my work. But it’s a lot more awkward.

At any rate, enough whining. Back to the topic at hand.

During this last few days, I’ve worked my through the code I use for a search engine with most of my PHP/MySQL web sites. I’ve documented it moderately thoroughly and written it up. However, lacking internet access, I haven’t really tested this version of it. Hopefully, there are no major mistakes!

If anybody happens to give it their time to look at, I hope you’ll drop me a line and let me know your thoughts. I’m particularly interested in hearing about anybody’s views about improving the security of the script, but will gladly accept comments on usability, functionality, etc.
