    Hi!

    I know this is a too general question, but please help me.
    I’d like to make a searchbar which could retrieve pieces of info from databases and show them to the user (like oxforddictionaries or thefreedictionary), but I am still puzzled by this whole process and cannot find enough information on the topic.

    Any helpful links or tips?

    What does this have to do with WordPress?

    I thought WordPress would be an adequate platform for that. I mean for making such a dictionary.

    Have you tried looking through some of the dictionary plugins?

    I have. Unfortunately they are not so convenient if a dictionary has 2k+ entries.
    I don’t know what exactly I expected from making this topic – I simply hoped someone could share a tip, give me a general guideline or point me to a tutorial :/

    Have you tried looking it up on Google?

    Yes. No luck for now.

    If I understand well, most practical way to do it would be by uploading the dictionary to the mysql database and then creating a php file that connects WordPress with it…

    Any thoughts?
