Search Engine Overview

The Search Engine Options allows you to install the WebGlimpse Search Engine on your site. This tool allows users to perform searches for content on your site.

Once the search engine is installed, configured and indexed, it will be available on an HTML page located on your site. You will need to manually (using your web site creation tool of choice) create links to the WebGlimpse HTML page.

How To Install Web Glimpse On Your Site:

Configuring the Search Engine for Your Site:
The Search Engine Manager allows you to specify the types of files you would like to index on your site. It is common practice to have search engines only index content files; images and program files are typically not indexed.

How to Configure the Search Engine:

Re-Indexing Your Site with the Search Engine:
When you install WebGlimpse, it automatically creates an index of your site. If you make changes to your site (like adding pages), or change the configuration (as done in the above procedure) you will need to re-index the site so that all new changes are reflected in the WebGlimpse index. This helps to ensure that WebGlimpse returns accurate, up-to-date search results when users perform searches on your site.

How to Re-Index Your Site:

Testing the Search Engine:
Once the Search Engine has been installed and configured on your site, you may wish to test it to make sure it is functioning correctly.
