OK - don't use inline SQL. Use Stored Procedures. HTMLEncode your input. Verify the input to detect common injection conditions. Colin has a good article on how to do this. Arthur Dent - "That would explain it. All my life I've had this strange feeling that there's something big and sinister going on in the world." Slartibartfast - "No. That's perfectly normal paranoia. Everybody in the universe gets that." Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

Since your search function is simply going to query a database for results, consider this as you would any other MySQL data-access request. You'll have a SELECT statement that supports parameters for retrieving records from your MySQL database. The parameter values will be supplied by your user by entering "whatever" in your "Search" box. You'll execute the query and bind the results to whatever makes sense for your search results (e.g. a GridView, or DataList, or Repeater... depending on how you want the search results to display).

If you are using Visual Studio, add a setup project to you solution and it shuold detect the dependancy and install it for you. Regards Graham Wade
