Search Engine For Your Website
|
I have already posted about this software (Zoom Search Engine ), but after reviewing it more, it needs it's own thread for future reference.
As I said before, the software will automatically index your website pages for you. There are options for how you want your results page to display which is real useful.
For example: You can tell it to display the result numbers, the title of the page, any meta description, a ranking score, the date & URL. It also the lets images appear in your results and it has a highlight search word feature.
The software will also generate a site map (that is generated into a .txt file) that is compatible with Yahoo & Google. You can upload it to the root directory of your website.
The search if fully customizable. I was able to add my design around it completely and make it look seamless with my website. No ads too. And get this, it has the spell checker option just like the big boys.
I'm saying this because adding a search engine to your website add to the sites accessibility .
The software generates about 7 files which you have to upload to your root directory. It is a php script, but it can output as a .asp, or .cgi script, if you do not have php pages.
I had to tweak the code just a bit to make it HTML 4.0 compatible. It was XHTML 1.0 when I got it, and change a couple of the tags around; such as <b> to <strong>.
