site search engine in control panel

[sftvboy]

I have a site that is like a mini yahoo, you enter a search keyword and get a list of results from withing a folder on my account. I list a bunch of friends websites and the keywords are coded onto the page, they are just fonted in the color white so as not to show up when viewed to make the search engine work the way I want it to.

I tried the site search engine on the control panel, it says to insert this code on your webpage? What page? The index.html page or all the html pages I want to search?

Anyone know how to set this up?

Thanks in advance

Want a real cool Yahoo like look? Awesome link management.

A bit tough to set up if your not a Perl pro, but really cool, and customizable.

Built in search too.

Is it setup? I have very little Perl knowlede and I got it going in about 4 hours. Once setup, just customize the .css and html templates. Very professional looking. If you need help let me know.

Put the code wherever you like, imbed it in a table (i would). You must do it for every page you want it on. (or just a link on all pages to the search page.

<b><form action="/cgi-sys/entropysearch.cgi" target=searchwindow>
Search Query <input type="text" name="query" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="user" value="pharm">
<input type="hidden" name="basehref" value="http://pharmaciesabroad.com">
<input type="hidden" name="template" value="default">
<input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>

</b>
This is for my site, yours will be different.



PS dont include the <b> and <b/>

...Put the code wherever you like, imbed it in a table (i would). You must do it for every page you want it on. (or jist a link on all pages to the search page...

You could also make your pages .shtml for SSI (Server Side Includes) and create a text file with the html as above and then just put an include in all your html files to the text file.

Just a thought.

I tried editing the "search results template" (http://www.yourdomain.com:2082/frontend/hrcp/search/editdef.html) without success. The edits I did appeared to have no effect on the look-and-feel of the search results window. Moreover, when I went to re-edit the HTML, all the HTML I previously entered had disappeared.

Has anyone gotten the search results template to work?

Thanks for any pointers/hints ...
