As the title said, I would like to integrate the Word Online Editor (you need an office account) in my website to facilitate the document editing for my users. Is there a way to do it ? I've been looking left and right but couldn't find a way, only how to a plug-ins for your use.
Thanks in advance.
I don't think you can do that. However, for viewing/rendering only you can put the Google Documents viewer in an iframe.
However, check out WOPI framework. Requires some efforts but might be what you need.

I'm currently creating a website for a school project, and I would like to add a search bar in which we can look for a word on the website. It would work like a traditional Ctrl+F (Command+F) but for every html file on the website, and then present the result either on a pop-up or on a different page.
I believe this requires a specific software, but I don't know which one, and I'm pretty sure I don't know how to use it.
Thanks for any insight on how to do that!
You have a plenty of options. The particular choice will depend on your site specifics (is the content static or dynamic etc.). Anyway you will need to build a search index. I suggest to use something almost ready to go. See elasticsearch and a crawler for it.
One easy way would be to use Google Custom Search if the website will be online.
Another option would be to build or use an existing php search script. In this case your webhoster must support php. for static webpages this is not the best option, as the script has to search through all files everytime you search something.
It will be a lot easier if you use a CMS (Content Management System) to build your site, they usually have the Search-functionality included or as an addon.

I'm currently working on a Joomla website for a music festival. One of its pages contains a schedule with a list of performing acts.
My ambitious goal is to build a feature that makes my website's users able to mark certain acts as their favourites. In practice, clicking an icon would give it a visual highlight or something like that. The ideal situation would be that the user shouldn't have to sign in to save one's choises. I guess the solution would have something to do with the browser's local storage?
Here's one example for what I mean. (This is NOT my site, just an example of something I'm looking for).
Can anyone help me to get started? Thanks in advance!
This extension, http://extensions.joomla.org/extension/my-shortlist , should help with little or no modifications to the template.
If the above doesn't help, then you can the JED (the Joomla Extensions Directory) for an extension that is better suited to your needs.
I want to find the number of pages of a website. Usually what I look for is a sitemap but I just encountered a site which does not have a sitemap so I am out of ideas of how to find its total pages. I tried to Google the URL but that did not helped much. Is there any other way we can find out the pages of a website?
Thanks in advance.
Ask Google "site:yourdomain.com"
This gives you all indexed pages.
Or use the free tool "Xenu". It crawls the whole site. But it won't find sites which have no internal links pointing to them. You can also export a sitemap with it.
I was about to suggest the same thing :) If this is a website you own, you can also add it to the Google Webmaster tools. It will show you lots of things about your site including number of links, pages, search terms, etc Its very useful and is free of charge.
I have found a better solution myself. You can go to Google Advanced Search and restrict the search results to your domain name. Leave everything else empty. It would give you the list of all pages cached by Google.
You could also try A1 Website Analyzer. But for all link checker software, you will have to make sure you configure them correctly to obey/not-obey (whatever your needs are) e.g robots.txt, noindex and nofollow instructions. (Common source for confusion in my experience.)
I am looking for somewhere that i can design and add a feedback/contact tab to my site. And if possible add a slide out where users can submit a form.
I have no coding experience.
I tried to use the j querys plugin, but cant figure it out.
here is an example;

Refer Wiki:Customer Feedback Management services a list of online services. This page has a list of free and paid tools and their comparison.
The Wikipedia link suggested in the answer by Ankit seems to have changed and doesn't contain the info asked for.
If you use Wordpress as your platform, you can try Usernoise. There are a whole bunch of SaaS based feedback tools that you give a try - GetSatisfaction, UserVoice, WebEngage etc to name a few. Integrating all of these is pretty simple and doesn't need any coding experience. Most of these tools have a FREE version too.

I am really wondering if i can use search for a HTML website. The pages are static. I just want the users to able to search for contents of my site. and the results shown with in my site itself. Is there anyway i can achieve this. I can use PHP on my server.
Google search can be implemented but it takes you to google's page to show the results
You're better off not creating your own search engine - there's loads of good ones that can be integrated into your site, which will be better than you can write yourself.
Google is the most popular search engine, so you might as well use that. As an alternative to customising the html results page, you could use the Google AJAX Search API - this does your search, and inserts the results to a specific element on your page. (DON'T forget people with javascript turned off, however...)
I like easy and fast, so consider Google Custom Search
Possibilities are:
Database Extraction (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-php-sphinxsearch/)
Search Indexer (http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.search.lucene.html#zend.search.lucene.overview)
Custom Search Crawler
As for customise Google Custom Search: http://googlecustomsearch.blogspot.com/2009/10/structured-custom-search.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogspot%2FSyga+%28Google+Custom+Search%29
I think you can customize Google's result page.
Well, if you have php available, I would definitely suggest using that. If I were you, I would go through some PHP tutorials, and learn the basics.
W3Schools has some great tutorials.
Then, I would do some searches on building a text based database on your site, or use a clever solution like this one. You can build a small database with metadata and store it in a text file, and it should get you going. Good luck.
