Installing and Configuring Your Own Search
The Search Engine Options allows you to install the
WebGlimpse Search Engine on your site. This tool allows
users to perform searches for content on your site.
Once the search engine is installed, configured and indexed, it
will be available on an HTML page located on your site. You
will need to manually (using your web site creation tool of
choice) create links to the WebGlimpse HTML page.
Installing a Search Engine
- From the Control Panel, select the Search Engine icon.
If WebGlimpse is not installed on your site, the Search
Engine Manager displays a message indicating that
WebGlimpse is not yet installed.
- Select the Install WebGlimpse button. A message
appears indicating that WebGlimpse will be installed on
your site within approximately ten minutes.
Configuring the Search Engine
The Search Engine Manager allows you to specify the types of
files you would like to index on your site. It is common
practice to have search engines only index content files;
images and program files are typically not indexed.
- From the Search Engine Manager, select the Directory
Administration button. Instructions for changing the
searchable directories on your site display.
- You can eliminate specific types of files from being
accessed by your search engine by including the
following command in the Edit the file here text box:
Deny \.extension where extension is the extension for
the file type you want to prevent being indexed.
- You can eliminate specific directories from being
accessed by your search engine by including the
following command in the Edit the file here text box:
Deny /directoryname where directoryname is the name
of the directory you want to prevent being indexed.
- When all of your changes have been made, click on the
Save button.
- Select the Search Engine Main Menu link to return to
the Search Engine Manager.
Re-Indexing the Search Engine
When you install WebGlimpse, it automatically creates an
index of your site. If you make changes to your site (like
adding pages), or change the configuration (as done in the
above procedure) you will need to re-index the site so that all
new changes are reflected in the WebGlimpse index. This
helps to ensure that WebGlimpse returns accurate, up-to-date
search results when users perform searches on your site.
- From the Search Engine Manager, select the ReIndex
Web Pages button. The web pages on your site will
automatically be re-indexed and a page of the results
from that re-indexing appears.
- Review the output. Select the Back to Search Engine
Manager link at the bottom of the page.
Testing the Search Engine
Once the Search Engine has been installed and configured on
your site, you may wish to test it to make sure it is functioning
correctly.
- From the Search Engine Manager, select the link to the
file on your site under the section 4) Test using your
new search engine. A new page appears featuring the
WebGlimpse search engine tool for your site.
- Try testing the utility by entering a search string for a
piece of text you know to be in a file on your site.
Click on the Submit button. A results page appears.
You can try changing the various settings available in
the WebGlimpse tool, then performing other searches
to verify how those settings affect the search.
Removing the Search Engine
- From the Control Panel, select the Search Engine icon.
If Web Glimpse is installed on your site, the Search
Engine Manager displays indicating WebGlimpse is
installed.
- Click on the Remove WebGlimpse button. A message
appears indicating that WebGlimpse will be removed
from your site within approximately ten minutes.
