I have a search bar and when I press the search button it will look for keywords in the text file that you have on your computer, then bring to me the words that are found back to the page?

document.getElementById('frmSearch').onsubmit = function() {
  window.location = 'http://www.google.ro/search?q=' + document.getElementById('txtSearch').value;
}
<form id="frmSearch"  class="search1" method="get" action="default.html" />
<input class="search" id="txtSearch" type="text" name="search_bar" size="31" maxlength="255" value="" 
        style="left: 396px; top: 20000px; width: 293px; height: 60px;" />
     <input class="search2" type="submit" name="submition" value="Cauta" style=" padding-bottom:20px; left: 300px; top: 0px; height: 50px" />
     <input class="search2" type="hidden" name="sitesearch" value="default.html" />

Sorry, scripts can only perform web-related actions. Accessing local files is unsafe and forbidden for secure reasons.

UPD: for an offline app you can use something like this:

var fileRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();  
fileRequest.open('GET', 'file://[your file path]', false); 
fileRequest.responseText // it is yours text

  • and do you have any idea how i do when i click on the search button to start a command on windows/ linux (that need to works in parallel with the text file search )???? –  Horia Feb 15 '16 at 10:06
  • Use some server-side language, e.g. PHP or node.js. – nhaa123 Feb 15 '16 at 10:25

@Horia, you should be using the Google Search box and their custom search engine with API, instead of an iframe. This stack overflow might solve your problem. What are the alternatives now that the Google web search API has been deprecated?
