Admin
Center
The
PageSearch Admin Center is a very useful tool in which you can administrate
all of the features of the PageSearch program. They include:
Create New Index, Delete Old Index, Edit Header/Footer,
Edit Block List.
Admin
Center : Loggin in
To create a login and password goto padmin.cgi
a login info form will come up, fill in the login information, hit the "Edit" button, click
the link on the next page, and login successfully to the admin center from the
login page (the link will take you there).
To login into the PageSearch Admin Center after the initial setup, bring up login.html
in your browser, enter your password and userid.
Admin
Center : Indexing Site (Creating New Index)
There
are two ways of indexing your site: indexing in bits, and indexing
as a whole. It is recommended that you index your site in bits
so it will cut down on the process on your web server. Usually,
when you index your site as a whole, it will timeout, which means the
index was not created.
To
index your site, check the checkboxes next to the files you wish to
have in your index. If you don't want it, don't check it.
To index an entire directory, and all sub-directories (which is not
recommended), check the box next to the directory. To index your
site in bits, first select all the files in the current directory that
you wish to index, then click on each directory link that you wish to
index, and index the files in that directory. If you index your
site in bits, you are basically indexing it directory by directory.
NOTE:
If you ever get a timeout message in your browser, try de-selecting
some of the files that you wish to index.
Admin
Center : Deleting Old Index
If
you ever wish to re-index your entire site, you should delete the old
index first. If you do not, then the old index of your old site
will still be there. Also, if you just want to update the index
after you have first indexed your entire site, then you must delete
the old index. The old material from your site will still be available
for search if you do not.
NOTE:
You do NOT have to delete the old index each time you are indexing
a directory. The program works where it appends to the index.
You only need to delete the old index if you have updated your site
(and wish to re-index your entire site again).
Admin
Center : Editing the PageSearch Results Header/Footer
To
change the look of the PageSearch Results page, use the Edit
Header/Footer button. This will bring up two textareas
which contain the contents of header.html and footer.html. After
editing the html, press the edit button.
Admin
Center : Editing the PageSearch Block List
The
PageSearch block list is used to block certain file extensions from
being indexed. Such file extensions might contain .cgi, .gif,
and .jpg. Others are supported. To add a file extension
to the block list, enter the file extension (in the format of ".<extension>"),
select the Add a new block command from the pull-down
menu, and hit the Edit Button. To delete a block
from the list, select the file extension you wish to delete from the
pull-down menu, select the Delete a block command,
then hit the Edit button.

The
