Inspired by the first Lasso Programming Challenge, this little tool is an easy to implement, yet flexible system for adding single-field searches to your web site. A single input field accepts keywords with modifiers to search multiple fields of a single data table at the same time, then perform a custom relevance ranking algorithm of the found records.
