If you're using MySql then you could set the storage engine to MyIsam and use the fulltextsearch capability. See the MySql docs for more info.

He selects a keyword from the dropdown ?
Well, then, you can simply use, $query="select * from table where col like '%$value%'"; $value is the selected value of the dropdown.

LIMIT will fetch only the number of records specified.i want to fetch all the matching records.

Output

[First Page] [Prev] Showing page 1 of 1 pages [Next] [Last Page]

the pages at the bottom are not working

You have 68 posts and still you don't use [code] tags.That's bad.

// how many rows to show per page
$rowsPerPage = 1;

change the $rowsPerPage to how many rows you want to display,ok?
