Search Engine by Stardeveloper.com Release Version : 1.0 Release Date : 9 May 2000 Installation Notes :- Create a directory under C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/ and name it 'search'. In that directory unzip all the files. Move 'directory.mdb' to a place where you have both READ and WRITE permissions so that you can add records to that database. Open 'editme.asp' and give it the relative ( e.g. /db/search/directory.mdb ) or absolute ( e.g. c:/db/search/directory.mdb ) of the location where you have put the 'directory.mdb'. Now go to the DOS prompt and run the following command : regsvr32 [path to GetURL.dll] e.g. regsvr32 c:/db/search/GetURL.dll It will register the GetURL.dll component for you. Ok we are done. Now open your favorite browser and type the following URL in it : http://127.0.0.1/search/addtodb.htm This will give you a Form to index files and enter their info to the database. You can also use it to delete specific URLs if you want to. When you are done, type the following URL to test your search engine : http://127.0.0.1/search/search.htm Enter a generic keyword in it and press submit. You will see a list of matching of records in a paged fashion. *Note that Search Engine comes with a 'directory.mdb' database loaded with sample indexed pages info so that you can at least search and see how it works. You should delete the original 'directory.mdb' database when you have seen it working and rename the other clean database 'directory_o.mdb' to 'directory.mdb' to begin a fresh index for your web site.
