The WebGlimpse Search Engine
is intended to be used by experienced web developers.
WebGlimpse adds search capabilities to your WWW
site automatically and easily. Once the search
engine has been installed, configured and has
indexed your site, it will be available on a
web page located within your site.
You will
need to create links to the web page that WebGlimpse
creates.
Select the Search Engine
icon. If WebGlimpse is not installed on your
site yet, the screen displays a message indicating
that WebGlimpse is not installed. Click on the
Install WebGlimpse button. WebGlimpse will be
installed on your site within approximately ten
minutes.
Once you have installed WebGlimpse,
the Search Engine Manager allows you to configure
how WebGlimpse indexes your site content. In
general you only want to index your HTML documents,
you do not need to index images, scripts, or
program files.
In the Search Engine Manager, select
the Directory Administration button.
Here is where you can specify what
gets indexed and what doesn't. To disallow WebGlimpse
from indexing a particular extension (besides what
is listed already), add the following command to
the large text box.
Deny \.extension
where '.extension' is the extension
for the file type you want to prevent being indexed.
You can also eliminate specific directories from
being indexed by the search engine by including
the following command in the 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 the Save button. This updates the configuration
file with the changes you just made.
When you first install WebGlimpse,
it creates an initial index of your site. As
you make changes to your site, or change the
configuration using the Search Engine Manager,
you will need to re-index the site so that all
the changes are reflected in the index. This
will 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.
