Site search engine

Hi everyone! I need to put a site search engine in my composition how can i do that?
Thanks everyone in advance!

Your web host is running OSX Server? If so, one would hope a
specialized
host like that would be able to provide you some options.
Otherwise, I believe the Web server on OSX Server is the
Apache web server,
in which case, you should be able to use any search solution
that would run
on Apache (like any PHP solution).

How to create an in-site search engine

How does one manually create an in-site search engine (without using Google's site search engine or the like)? Is it very difficult and time consuming?

If your site is dynamically populated with content from server-side databases, it's not hard.
If your site is static, a 3rd party search function might be a better choice until you're ready to build a dynamic site.

Web Site Search Engine

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me locate a code for a search engine of my web site. My dilemma is, most of the search engines I've located search the web. This's not what I want. I'm looking for a search engine where you can select from a menu display and then hit search and it will return results in a text format from my web site only.
If you're not sure what I'm looking for, an example can be found at www.westernvirtualairlines.com
They use the Quick Flight Search which is exactly what I would like to use.
If you enter Salt Lake City in the "from" box, and Los Angeles in the "to" box it will return the results in the same format I wish to use.
Any help would be awsome and greatly appreciated.
Thanks for any help and assistance.

Well, you can use Google to search your own web pages, but I don't think that's quite what you're asking.
That site you pointed to undoubtedly has its own database set up, so when you click search, it searches through their database and returns any relevant data to your search. If this is what you're attempting to accomplish, there's not going to be any script you can just cut and paste and have everything magically work for you.
While you may not see it, those aren't simply HTML pages you're looking at. That site uses Active Server Pages, orASP, Microsoft's parallel to JSP (Java Server Pages). This pages query the database, organize the result and display it on the page. If you want something this complex, you'll either need to invest some serious time into learning a technology that can handle it, or hire a developer to do it for you.

When I open a new tab it does not bring up my homepage. It brings up another sites search engine page.

When I click on the new tab button, a small cross, it opens the new tab, but displays another sites search page, not my homepage. I cannot find where to tell it to open my homepage on all new tabs that are opened from the tab bar.

The basic Firefox build has always opened a blank page when you open a new tab.
Maybe some add-on you installed modified that feature of Firefox which now opens all tabs in a different page. Here's what you will need to do.
Open Firefox -> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. The tabs will now be opening in a blank page. You can Enable the add-ons again and check if its working properly.

Need a quote on creating a site search engine cfc

Ok, this is what I have set up and you get the idea on what I
am trying to
accomplish.
I have a table of my database called 'members'
Amongst other items I have columns called:
state: varchar(2)
service: TinyInt
keywords: LongText
When people sign up they choose their service from a list,
choose their
state from a list and enter keywords from a textbox which is
all inserted
into the table. They can enter it any way they want.
When people go to search, they have to choose a state and a
service
(required).
The keywords is optional and is a textbox. They may just put
random words in there or separate them with comma or such.
I need a SQL code written that will take the state and the
service which are
always chosen and add the option of keywords.
I would like this put into a CFC to use on the site.
How much would anyone / everyone charge me to do this for me?
I am at my
wits end and don't have the time to keep this request up.
I will probably learn better from seeing it completed then to
have people
send me to places.
If you need any other information, please ask.
Listed below is that I have currently. Everything works fine
except for the
keywords section. It works if one word is entered, but bombs
if you enter
more than one.
<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="ServiceSearch" access="remote"
returntype="query">
<cfargument name="service" type="string"
required="true">
<cfargument name="state" type="string"
required="true">
<cfargument name="keywords" type="string"
required="false">
<cfquery name="ServiceResults"
datasource="#Request.MainDSN#">
Select company, name, phone, service, city, state, username
FROM members
WHERE service = #arguments.service# AND state =
'#arguments.state#'
<cfif len(trim(arguments.keywords)) GT 0>
AND keywords LIKE '%#Trim(arguments.keywords)#%'
</cfif>
ORDER BY company ASC
</cfquery>
<cfreturn ServiceResults>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
Please let me know.

you would have to tell the users to separate the entered
keywords by comma or space. Then you would take that list and
delimit it into a array. This can then be feed to your query like
this................
<cfset searchlogic2 = ListAppend(searchlogic2,'AND Title
like "#First Item of Array#%"',' ')>
You would have to loop over your array to append all of the
keywords to the searchlogic2 string.
Then you just use that sting in your
query.....................
<cfquery name="GetActivity" datasource="WEARS">
SELECT *
WHERE ________
#searchlogic2#
</cfquery>
Hopefully that helps!

Site search limitations when using Spry Widgets

Currently evaluating search tools to work with Spry
accordion, tabbed panels and so on. Apparently NONE of them do.
This is a big problem. Our site uses mostly Dreamweaver spry
widgets.
I have tested the very highly rated zoom Search from WrenSoft
and also expect problems with Google Search and Atomz (based on web
research I have done).
If one searches for a word residing in one of the spry tabbed
panels,accordians (there could be many layers on a single page of
course), site search engines correctly take you to the page but
naturally does not open the correct tabbed panel (Zoom Search
doesn't understand DW code of course). Just presents you with the
default panel. User would have to dig through all panels on that
page to find the text. Our users need these nice interfaces. This
is reality. Also some of the Java script in Wrensoft that
highlights search words conflicts with existing Java script within
Dreamweaver. I've worked around some of it but the core issue is
the landing on the page and opening the correct tab. The question
is can anyone suggest a search engine tool that will work with
Dreamweaver Spry widgets or suggest something else. This is a huge
disincentive to use Spry. Perhaps build pages without Spry to
specifically go to after search? Sound like a lot of work.
Thanks
Richard

This is not an issue specific to Spry, it's an issue with
other JavaScript solutions that show and hide content, and it is
also an issue if CSS is used show and hide content.
If you have a way to obtain the search terms from the search
engine page, then you might be able to handle this (based upon your
description, the WrenSoft JavaScript finds that info out), but then
you'd also have to have a search engine built within your page that
will search through the page and figure out what tab the searched
term(s) are on, and then show that tab, but then what happens when
you have terms on multiple tabs in a tab group? You'll have to
determine which search terms are more important than other terms.
There is code available that will allow you to open specific
tabs using the showPanel method. Check out the API for the Tabbed
panel:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/data_api/index.html
And perhaps take a look at the code for this page (check in
the linked JavaScript file):
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/tabbedpanels/tabbed_panel_unobtrusive.htm
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/tabbedpanels/tp_unobtrusive.js
As the Spry code is namespaced to specifically prevent
conflicts with other JavaScript code, it would be good to know what
those conflicts are so that others can be aware of them to try to
prevent them in their pages.

How do I add different sites to search engines

How do I add other search engines or sites to my drop down list? When I visit a site nothing comes up in the drop down menu to 'add it' like the instructions say and you can't manage it to add. I want to add Dogpile and at the Dogpile site it says 'add to browser' but it doesn't. If I want to add cooking sites to the search engine box there is no icon to add it. I have 12 search engines to choose from, that is all.

OK i think i got what you want, correct me if i am wrong.
You want to add '''dogpile ''' in search bar, aren't i right. But you are not able to find '''add dogpile''' in the drop down.
As far as i know the '''Add XXXXXXX''' is shown only for popular website like TechCrunch etc or websites which have their search engine listed in [http://addons.mozilla.org addons.mozilla.org].
You can check whether the search engine you are looking for is in [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/search-tools/?sort=created mozilla add-on ] and add it.

I can't see the URL for site I am on; instead I have search engines I can select, and type subject to search.

I have a 2009 MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard.
I use Firefox v3.6.3
I don't recall when this happened, or what I could have done to cause it. In the area at the top of the FF window, where the URL is displayed, I have two fields. A small one that is labelled "mozilla.com" with a drop-down menu to the right of it. If I click on the drop down I see a list of websites and their URLs. This may be places I have been, but definitly isn't the most recent sites I have visited. Then to the right of that, taking up more than half of the width of the page is a filed where I can type something to search. There is also a drop down menu at the left end of the field, where I can select what Search Engine I want to use. I can manage that list - add or delete search engines. I prefer to use the standard search window, and be able to see the URL of what ever page I am at. Help!!!

Try to place the mouse between the small location bar and the large search bar. The mouse pointer should change to a resize pointer that you can drag to the right by pressing the left mouse button to make the location bar wider.

How to change the wording of my site when displayed in search engines

How do I amend the details displayed when my website is typed into google so that it reads my company name, and other selected text...as opposed to the wording on the first slide/ 123.reg which it is currently displaying. Is there a settings page within iWeb that manages this?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Jessica ~ Welcome to the discussions. Most built-in templates have a large header caption at the top of the page and there's the Page tab in iWeb's Inspector — see the section "1) iWeb Page Titles" in this article:
_SEO For iWeb: How to get your iWeb Websites into Google & Other Major Search Engines_
Their free _iWeb SEO Tool_ says this:
"Your meta description is a short description of your webpage content. Like your title tag, and all other meta tags, it should be unique for each one of your webpages. Provide a short description of what visitors should expect to see on your webpage. Search engines will use your description meta tag in the search results page right underneath the title tag."
Also see this article by Google:
_Changing your site's title and description in search results_
...Found by doing THIS.
In other site builders, such as the free Weebly, SEO is integrated:

By the way, rather than posting your URL like this:
www.thenutritionalconnection.com
...include the prefix to make it conveniently clickable:

RE: Firefox search box - manage search engines - get more search engines.. IT DOESN'T WORK , I now get 1000's of useless irrelevant results, PLEASE FIX THE SITES SEARCH NOW, IT'S COMPLETELY USELESS NOW

RE: Firefox search box -> manage search engines -> get more search engines..
IT DOESN'T WORK
I just want to add youtube + some others to the list of sites in the Firefox search box, I now get 1000's of useless irrelevant results, PLEASE FIX THE SITES SEARCH NOW, IT'S COMPLETELY USELESS NOW

Hi Kvoter,
What are you hoping for, firefox to display lists of sites you have visited or bookmarked ?
*''' it should be able to do that'''
* my firefox does that
I am only a fellow ordinary user of Firefox & XP, but maybe the problem is on your machine, rather than needing a fix from firefox. If you take a little time to read this you may be able to sort out the problems yourself.
I hope you do not mind me covering a few basics:
* the [[Search bar]] { <-- clickable link -- ] is designed to produce a lot or results, whereas
*the [[Location bar search|Location Bar]] is a lot more specific and may be [[Location bar autocomplete#w_controlling-behavior|set]] to include or exclude History & or [[bookmarks]]
If you are getting literally 1000s of totally unrelated results you may need to consider [[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware]]
Hope to hear that you have solved the problem, or a bit more detail about what still is a problem.
John

I can't get any search engine to take me to a site I click on, but all re-direct me. I've gone thru all the troubleshooting I can find.

While using Firefox none of the search engines will connect to a site I click on. All re-direct to something else. Vary rarely, a pop-up bar says firefox did not allow...., but I still cannot get to any site or page by clicking on the link. The only way I can get anywhere is by copy/paste in the address bar. I have tried all the troubleshooting I can find, but nothing changes this.

Iweb site, listing in search engine looks bizarre??

How do I change what appears in the search listing, I get this below:(

www.boutiquebrides.com/ - Cached - Similar
It appears to be picking up info from my menu... Why is this?
thanks

Roddy is right. You are not giving the search engines enough content to display in the search results. This can be fixed by a better title tag, as well as adding a decent description.
To do this, download iWeb SEO Tool, as Roddy has mentioned. http://www.ragesw.com/products/iweb-seo-tool.html
Here is a video which shows you how to use this application. http://apptorial.com/how-to-use-rage-softwares-iweb-seo-tool/

Iweb site on search engines

I have been trying my very best to make my website (http://web.mac.com/bjcarreon) available on search engines because I think it's a great site and people can learn from my experiences but I have been only 1/4 successful because when you try to search for me in google, you can only search what's on the welcome page and not the sub pages. how do i make all the pages in my site, searchable?
is there an easy way to have my iweb made website searchable on line? please help.

mate - your in the wrong forum. you have the latest iweb version, and this is the one previous to it. in any case, you might want to check out my tutorial for making iweb sites be on google:
http://guimkie.com/projects/iweb/get-on-google-with-iweb/
as a way to make your site be more keyword attractive - make sure that none of your text is as images. if you use simply textboxes, the content will be moved into the html code and can then be picked up by google. text in images cannot be picked up by google.
for those having iweb 06, i have this article:
http://guimkie.com/projects/iweb/get-on-google-with-iweb-1x
i have some ads on my site, meaning it might generate revenue if you visit it. this is apple policy. i have to state it in order to be allowed to post this link here.

Listing JSP site on search engines

I am hoping that there are some methods to get dynamically JSP generated webpages listed on search engines. I know that there are issues when using a query string because of spiders avoiding the '?' Is there a mod_rewrite type of option that can be accomplished in web.xml or anywhere else that could translate a site so that I could use:
http://somesite.com/product/id/324
instead of:
http://somesite.com/product.jsp?id=324
Even if there is a completely different approach to solving this, I welcome any and all suggestions.
Thank you all in advance,
Steve

Or, to make your site more portable (if this is an issue), design your pages such that direct access without query variables provides a meaningful result in the first place, and your problem is solved. I know i have a habit of just erasing extra query stuff on pages i'm viewing to try to get to a root page.. it's incredibly annoying when one doesn't exist, or craps out on you because you're missing parameters.
Although using Apache is a good idea... hadn't thought of that.
