Hello all,

I want to know how a search facility can be inserted on a web page with out getting involved with databases & serverside headaches.I guess it,s possible using Javascript arrays+html forms(text fields) yet I,m not clear about it.Any pointer to some useful tutorials on this topic,d be very helpful.Thanks in advance.

The simplest way is to have someone else do the search for your site. You can add a Google site search simply and let them handle everything, and there's a free version of it. Just add a bit of code to your pages and you're done.

Otherwise you'll need to find a suitable script that you like. There are hundreds out there at places like http://hotscripts.com ... some free, others commercial. I haven't looked at them in some time, so don't have a recommendation for you.
