This
script enables a nice, quick search engine that can help your visitors
find information that they are interested in more easily. The larger
the site, the more important the search engine becomes.
Warning:
This search engine searches all of the ASCII (text) files
on your site. This includes HTML, PERL, plain text files, etc. Since
there is no way to limit the search engine, if any of these files
contain sensitive information, either encrypt the files or remove
them from your site. This is a smart move anyway - you should not
store sensitive information on your web site without encryption.
To
create an Entropy search engine:
-
Click
on the Rebuild Search Index link under Entropy
Search in the CGI Center area. This creates (or recreates)
the index file that the search engine uses to find information.
-
Click
on the Back button on your browser and click
on the Setup Search Engine link.
-
Copy
and paste the HTML code into your web page.
-
Use
the Search Query field to test the script.
This
is the minimum you need to do to get the script working - upload
the file, and you're finished. Refer to Editing
the search engine template if you need to customize the
appearance of the guestbook.
