This code takes a search term (entered by a user) and checks the database for results which contain all the words (seperated by a space, +, -, &, ~, etc.). It lists the results by displaying 10 results per page and gives links to other pages of results. It orders the results by what they have been rated by other users. One unrated results is shown at the top to allow the user to rate the page (otherwise it would just go to the bottom of the results!). Users can also add their own pages to the engine. For a working example, visit http://82.34.241.178/search/ (NOTE: as this example is running on my own computer, there is a chance that my IP will change or my computer will be off)
