We are looking replace site server's catalog search application. We need to
crawl a public website and allow uses to search indexed pages. We need a
product to index our site and index custom meta tags we put in our pages.
What website crawling products are available in the marketplace?
Whenever I do a site that is mostly static but with some semi-dynamic sections, I've struggled to find a good site search solution without paying for a hosted search service.
I like the FSO-based search engines, but they fail to pick up on some of the dynamic part.
I was just creating a Google sitemap and it made me wonder: has anyone created or seen a script that uses the XML Google sitemap to power a search engine for your own site?
Seems like if you were keeping it updated for Google, why not use it for your own site?
I am to build a site onto an ASP server. Anyone here used Dreamweaver and is it just a simple matter of opening up a new ASP page in Dreamweaver and build the site like you would normally do with a HTML page and it will handle the ASP coding accordingly and you can just simply upload it onto an ASP server and it will work?
The site I am to build is basically just a standard html website, but my friend wants me to build it for an ASP server so he has asked me to make sure it is an asp site so I am presuming with the extension .asp
If I build it as a html site to begin with, will converting it to asp be hard. Could I just export my pages into asp or is there more to it?
Can a Html website be loaded and working on an asp server or host?
Is it possible to have a site mixed both html and asp, eg. the home page is html and when you click on shopping cart on the home page it goes to a hopping cart page thats .asp or do they all have to have the same extension.
I like to create a search mechanism in my web site. This search engine will look for the keyword in my web directory and return the file location as hyperlink. Now, I have included all the conent of my web site as include text file. Example: I have index.asp and content of index.asp located at include/index.txt. If search query locates at index.txt I want my search code to return index.asp instead of index.txt as search result. How can I do it.
What's the best way to do a site search of my site? I am using asp and access heavily on a regular ISP google? Or write a bunch of queries? what else is there?
i have a search facility on my site relating to motor racing. i am wanting to allow other sites to have the search bar on their site. (allowing people to search my site from that persons site) how to do this. this is what is in my search box. Code:
im working on a script which will search the specified keyword within files, for this im using FileSystemObject which is working file with html/text/asp files but is there any way to search the text within .doc/.pdf files too?
Can anyone suggest any good software/scripts for crawling, indexing and searching an intranet site. I have used Atomz for internet sites and like it but i need something internal now. Open-source or free is good.I have seen MS Indexing Server in action once before and didn't like it - has anyone found it good?
i am working in creating a medical system that keep track of medical records.. i am now in coding the search engine in the system which takes tha value entered by the user and search the database for the values that match the user's value..and display it in the results page.
so how can i do that??can anyone give a sample of the code? is there is other way than using LIKE'%value%'?? because i want to write a code that search all my table columns.
i need solution for the following problem this function highlighting the keyword but this function display the all Text content with the keyword highlighted but i need to display the summary not all the content. Code:
I have a standard look to my site so I thought I might just make all the pages .asp pages and use #include statements to grab all the common content, however I want to be sure that all the big search engines crawl it without a problem. I heard that some have problems with ASP even if the ASP is not that complicated.
I am developing a site that has a mixture of both Static and databased content for which the client requires a site wide search to pick up on the text in the database and the text in the static html pages.
My original thought went to Index server? Does this still exist for Win 2003 Server? Are there any other similar server products? We can install what we like on the server, and obviously the cheaper/free'r the better! Or are there better solutions with some hosted search that can have a customisable results page?
I need a site search script but one that's a bit out of the ordinary. All the pages on my site have the header and footer in include files so a typical page of content looks like this
any script I've tried out sees the relevant content but is obviously looking at content.asp and therefore doesn't pick up the page title from header. As the title is in the header include its the same on each page so it wouldn't be much use anyway (tho I'd prefer to have it different).
I suppose an alternative would be to link to the relevant page but provide an extract rather than page title, can anyone help?
I've done a number of product catalogs/galleries with one or two category levels (Category > Subcategory). The straightforward way to do this, of course, is to use database fields for Category and Subcategory and query off of those fields.
I have a client now who is interested in what sounds to me to be an unnecessarily complex catalog with an as of yet undefined number of category levels at their disposal. My initial response would be just to add more levels of subcategories to the database, but I was wondering if anyone had come up with a system allowing the dynamic addition of an unlimited number of subcategories to a catalog, and would be willing to share your methods. Or, if I should just stick to the obvious plan.
I have to make a site search function for my website. User types a keyword, and the search function searches through all the static pages for the keyword. The result of the search has to display the URL relating to the keyword, which the user can click to read the contents.
I had no idea how to go about doing it, finally I thought of using a textfile containing the word, and its related URL in the format: Code:
I have a default catalogue/product page (code shown below list_item.asp) which list all the products from the database. But since I have lots of category in the catalog/product page, i want to separate them according to their respective categories like writing instruments, desktops, pantry etc.
This will enable the user to go to a respective page and choose the individual product from the respective categories. If I adjust the SQL statement to be "SELECT * from Product " WHERE category LIKE 'DESKTOPS', this page will lists all the items from that category selection. But if i were to make another page such as pen.asp and adjust the SQL statement to category LIKE 'PEN'.
The first page lists the products from the pen category and the following page unfortunately shows category from Desktops. how to segragate these categories so that it will only show the products from the individual categories.
I fire the following code on Index Server (different obj) and it returns a PDFs no problem, but when I change the object to use the MSSearch for Site Server I don't get any PDFs. Anything in the code that would cause this? I can see the PDFs getting crawled in Site Server, but when I try and search I don't get any pdfs .....
I'm trying to set up a full text search engine on my corp website. Due to the number of documents to be indexed and the strain IS can put on as server, it was determined that the Indexing Services should be run on a dedicated box, instead of on the webserver.
This all makes good sense until I actually try to connect to the catalog in my code. From what I can tell, IIS looks to the local machine for it's catalog sources. Does anyone know if it is even possible to remotely connect to an index catalog?
I've tried adding the server namespace to the catalog name in many different syntaxes, and so far nothing has worked. Code:
I'm just about to start a project that needs to combine the results of a SQL Server query with the results of an Index Server query. The basic idea is that the user enters/selects a bunch of search criteria on a form.
Most of the criteria selected by the user will be used to select records from the database - standard WHERE clause stuff - but the user can also enter free-text that should be searched for in associated uploaded documents.
The documents are sitting in the file-system with file-name pointers only stored in the database (not the document). Only records where the associated free-text is found in the documents should be returned. I'm new to Index Server and am wondering how is this done. Any good references/tutes?
I'm currently migrating an ASP/SQL 7.0 site that runs on Windows NT 4 server to an ASP/SQL 2000 platform running on Windows 2003. The current server resides in Orlando, FL. The new server will reside in Miami, FL. Here's a recap.
Old Location/Server: Orlando, Florida SQL 7/ASP/Windows NT 4
New Location/Server: Miami, Florida SQL 2000/ASP/Windows 2003
Along the way, many apps are breaking (which was expected). I've successfully recoded CDONTS to CDO and I'm slowly working my way through 1999 code.
I also found out the hard way that you need to explicitly tell Windows 2003 to run ASP pages or it will ignore all calls. I also performed the User migration steps from SQL 7 to SQL 2000 which was a breeze with the help of the Microsoft knowledge base. Code:
To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application.
This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off". Code:
I have just set up an ASP-based site to a new Windows 2003 SP1 server with IIS 6.0. Before now the site has run under IIS 5.0 on Windows 2000.
Every time an ASP page is opened, IE shows the error: "Cannot find server or DNS Error". All static page types open fine (HTM, GIF etc)
The confusing thing is - I have allowed Active Server Pages under Web Service Extensions in the IIS manager. No other extensions are allowed, other than ASP.NET.
I have tried accessing the site from the server itself, from another machine on the LAN. I have tried using the IP address, server name and localhost in the URL. I have also removed the Virtual Directory the site lives in. None of these changes made any difference. Oh yes, I have also tried rebooting!
i have recently completed and tested a site in using IIS on my desktop as a server, and everything runs fine. Upon transferring all the files up to the Real Server at work, the ASP pages are not displayed as i get an error saying that the include files caanot be found.
The include files for my ASP pages are in a folder called 'includes' which sits in the same dir as the ASP files. This setup works fine on IIS on my desktop, but for some reason, this same setup is not working when the files are on the Server. Has anyone got any ideas as to why this might be happening?
I'm having trouble getting my head around the query language for an Index Server Search w/ASP.I have some dummy content pages that have text like "this file contains things" and "this file contains stuff".I've tried these two queries: PHP Code:
SELECT DocTitle, VPath, Path, Filename, Rank FROM SCOPE('DEEP TRAVERSAL OF "c:inetpubwwwroot"') WHERE ((CONTAINS(' "file contains" ') >0) AND ((Path NOT LIKE '%\_vti%') AND (Path NOT LIKE '%\_private%') AND (Filename NOT LIKE 'search.asp'))) ORDER BY Rank DESC
I am using the Index search server that comes with MS IIS 3.0. The search works ok but how do I limit the search to only HTML/ASP files and not include MS Office files in the search results?
I am having a problem with the following search results code. The first page of results looks normal, but on the second page (records 26+), no results are displayed and the following error message is shown:
“The catalog directory can not be found in the location specified by 'CiCatalog=' in file indexServer.idq.”
I do not understand how the catalog could have changed in between the first and second pages of results. Can anyone tell me what may be wrong? I have attached the search page (search.htm), the query file (indexserver.idq) and the query results template (indexserver.htx).
I have to pass form data from my site to another organizations site using POST method... how exactly do I do that? Im familiar with how to do it within a single site/domain, and cant use querystring... I dont know where to begin.
