    This question may be related to a resolved thread.

    I have redesigned the following site and used EE2: http://www.rolfing.org. There is a “find a rolfer” page located here: http://www.rolfing.org/index.php?id=117. I created the new site I’m using datagrab to import a Microsoft Access file with the rolfer’s info.  I can get the information into the page but I’m not sure how to implement the search function.  Do I need another add on or is this a native EE2 function?

    The old site uses Typo3 and I suggested they keep the search function in Typo3 but the client doesn’t want to use two CMS’s.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    There are plenty of search addons for EE - but a good place to start would be the native EE2 search module as detailed here: http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/search/index.html

    If that doesn’t fit the bill go ahead and take a look at some of the other search addons over at Devot:ee!

    I’ll take a look at that.  The csv file has the addresses of the Rolfers in it so I don’t know if I’ll need a Google search.  I was hoping to just have the csv info searched.  Thanks for your help.  Much appreciated.
