    Guys!!! My personal recommendation for a simple and portable web server, if you don't have one and if you want to use it in your home for personal use is #-Link-Snipped-#

    Please download it and extract it to a new folder. This download is for Windows. Once you have extracted, its very simple to start the server. Just execute USBWebServer.exe and the server will be up. The next step is download the desired format of the file from my website #-Link-Snipped-# and extract them to the Root folder of the USB Web Server.

    Now open your favourite browser and type in #-Link-Snipped-# and the setup screen starts. Here enter these values, if you are using USB Web Server.
    MySQL Server: localhost
    Username: root
    Password: usbw
    Database: Anything of your choice. Give a good name without any spaces!

    Now, when you get the success message, please go to the Root folder and delete or rename setup.php file. Then once again, in your browser, go to #-Link-Snipped-# and evaluate the application! 😀

    Thanx 😀

    While I want to search for TAG or QUERY in that case QUERY is by default can't we make TAG as default option?

    The reason for not keeping the tags as default option because, in case you wanna search by tags, you are supposed to give it in full! It cannot search for half tags... Got it? 😔
