GME to the rescue! If you place your keywords in a Google Spreadsheet, you can subsequently publish it as a GData feed which can be queried. For example, if your spreadsheet was to have a single column labeled "keywords", the following should work:

<script type="text/javascript"> <![CDATA[ var url = <YOUR_SPREADSHEET_URL_HERE>;

function lookUp() { var searchBox = document.getElementById("mySearch"); var myList = google.mashups.getObjectById("myList");

if(searchBox.value == '') myList.setData(url); else myList.setData(url + '?sq=keywords%3D' + searchBox.value); } ]]> </script>

<input id="mySearch" type="text" /> <input type="button" value="Search" onclick="lookUp()" />

<gm:list id="myList" />

I have a file, currently a CSV file, but the format is flexible. It contains a master list of keywords that I wish to search.

The aim is for this keyword list to be used for tagging, myself and others need to reference this list to see if the tag/keyword we wish to use is available to us.

essentially I wish to search the file and display the results, it does not even have to be aware of spelling mistakes!

however I would like to incorporate this facility into a small website... soooooo...

is this at all possible?

its so simple, yet it seems its too simple to be done!
