Entropy Search
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.
