if anyone can shed some experience on how to have search engines index a website that is a store using products stored in an asp database. I've been creating static html pages each time I update my inventory but it seems like there has to be a better/quicker way.
View RepliesI want to implement a search engine which query other search engines like YAHOO, GOOGLE, ... and show the results to users.how can I do this?
View Replies View Relatedi have a site that is in the almost ready to be launched and it uses asp with an access database. i have lots of info in the database that i definately to stay indexed in search engines once i switch to the new dynamic site.
what is the deal with such a situation, i was told by someone who helped with the asp that they wouldn;t index the database info. anyone know how this all works, or how to get the site to be indexed the same?
Is it possible to hide code from search engines. We have a dynamical asp-home page that takes two text files per page. One text file contains meta information. I want to stop all search engines to include this text file in the search result.
View Replies View RelatedI want to have a list of businesses stored in a database. When some one does a search, a list will come up with a few businesses shown according tot he search criteria.
When one of the businesses is clicked on from the resultant list, the
details of the business are shown.
I want the contents of the database to appear on search engines.
I can't see how this would be possible if I am drawing that information
out from a database?? Code:
I have a website using a SQL database that is called by ASP pages and I want the search engines to crawl through and index each of the items in the database. I've tried making one page with all of the items in the database but it takes way too long to load. I have over 2,000 items.
View Replies View RelatedI have a client who has repeatedly asked about getting a site-wide search engine for their website. There's arguments for and against, but I'm more worried about the practical aspects of the request.
The site is largely composed of password-protected pages. Member data is stored in an Access database. The pages are all secured by a basic include file that checks against session variables to see if the user is logged in. If "yes," they can see the page. If "no," they are redirected to a login page. Standard stuff.
One of my biggest arguments against the search engines is that since they can't get into the protected pages to index them, those pages will not be included in search results. Since the protected pages make up about 90% of the site, this pretty much renders the search engine useless.
Have any of you encountered a similar situation? Any thoughts on a way for the search engine to index those protected pages?
As far as the search engine goes, I was planning on cheating and using a form that sends requests to a simple google site search (it works surprisingly well on the non-password protected pages), although I'm open to other suggestions if you have any.
In a HTML form field, the user enters a long text. I need to search for an image tag. Then get the name of the image (*.gif or *.jpeg) to check the image library if the image already exists. If exists, cannot upload the image. Else, upload the image.
View Replies View RelatedI've taken over maintenance of a website running on NT 4, IIS with ASP pages and an MS Access database, but I don't have much experience with this platform. I've got the ASP down pretty well and know SQL, but am having a problem figuring out how to get data for the main page.
On the main page (default.html) I want to display a random business from our database of businesses. Since it's a .html page how can I run server-side code to run the query and select the business? Am I stuck with CGI or is there some other way to do this? I don't want to redirect from the main page to another page, either.
I have an ASP search function which, after typing the search term, searches HTML pages and creates a list of links.
The problem is that I do not know how to code so the search term is highlighted in red after the user clicks on the link to view the HTML page.
I want to search a string of HTML and insert a querystring into any url where the url is an asp page and is either a local link /folder/page.asp or of a specific domain http://www.somedomain.com/folder/page.asp. It needs to be able to handle plain links and those with querystrings already in there.
I could do it with instr functions etc but I thought this might a good time to brush up on regular expressions. Can anyone point me in the right dirction?
i get the ref url that come to my site and i want to convert it to find
out what was the query in (google or other searcher sites)
foe example : if someone goes to google and search some text and my
site was in his resaults and he click on it , in my site i see his link
ref like
http://www.google.co.il/search?hl=i...91-Google&meta=
i want to know (in asp and save it to DB) what was the word or words

I have a table having 3 columns. There is a checkbox for each line. I
need to get those lines whose checkboxes are checked, and show those
lines to another webpage. Is there any way to do that? My concern is
that all information in the table are in <tb></tb> pairs without any
name tag. Any idea?
I'm doing a content management system, whereby the user can enter the HTML code for a currency symbol, eg £ for £.y . when I bring this data backup, say they want to edit the settings, then my ASP/HTML page is rendering the HTML code, eg £, rather than showing the original value, eg £.
If for example I put a space between the '&' and the 'pound;', eg & pound; then this will cause me problems because the user will think that they have to a put a space in or they file it with the space, which means the HTML code won't work any more. Is there a way round this?
I am trying to create a parametric search within a table (in the column headings). My first page (search.asp) allows you to choose parameters from a dropdown box, such as package and volts. You click "search" and it reads the Access dbase to yield the results.
The results page (results.asp) displays the information based on the parameters. Under the package column heading, I have the same drop down box, and I am able to once again choose the package I want and the table will refresh. Code:
i need to include the html inside another html, though it might appear simple, the catch is this, my one html is in one server and my another html is in another server.I cannot read the html and stream it as it has images and their path gets changed when i do that.
More over i donot have any control over the html which i am going to include all i have is a url http:abcxx.htm whose content i want to show in another asp page. The technology is ASP (vbscript and javascript).

Intranet tech support system using ASP/VBScript running on W2000 Server,
IIS, and using SQL Server 2000. I need to add a search engine. The problem
with using a regular SQL query is that if you put a phrase, say "red car" in
the text box, to hit submit, my SQL qurey would only look for that phrase,
and would leave out other items where the words red and car appeared
separately. I guess what I am saying is that I would like something like
Google or other search engines, which would find results which seem to fit
the criteria typed into the box, and rank them and highlight key words.
My research so far has shown me that SQL Server has something called
Full-Text searching, and I have tried to read up on that in BOL, but not
really seeing how I can apply it. I wonder if there's already some tutorials
or sample code out there. I have done some looking on the Web, but still
haven't found much.
I have created an asp server page as described in the
Microsoft Article 318387 HOW TO: Query Index Server Data
by Using ASP in FrontPage 2002
(http://support.microsoft.com/?id=318387)
It is running off my IIS server for the search results.
However, the results return only file locations; I would
like it to return a link to the hits. How would I do this?

I am trying to set up a pge that allows users to search DB for their order status. I managed to get it working with 1 search parameter. I would like to give my clients more then 1 search option to search by.
This is where I ran into problem. I believe it to be with my lack of ASP knowledge and the problem here is with the SQL statement. I do not think that it will work the way SQL statement is set up right now but I am at a loss for correct syntax here. Am I way off ? Code:

On my site I have a search that allows users to search for a specific job skill ie.cobol, asp etc
The problem is that at the moment the search can only search for what is exactly typed in the box eg.
"ASP" this search works fine,
"ASP, HTML" this doesnt because It searches for what is typed in.
I have been told It is something to do with parsing and that this will allow me to search for multiple job skills using commas to split what is typed in. If any body has any ideas I will be very greatfull

View Replies View RelatedI have a column in my database where emails are copied to, and i need to be able to search through each entry for certain keywords and display the results if the column contains any of the keywords. i can't figure out how to do this though, because if i use the select statement like this:
select * from maintable where column LIKE ('keyword')
or
select * from maintable where column IN ('keyword')
it will only display the results when the keyword is the only word in the field.
