Localised Search Engine

Hi All

I know I've asked about this in the past, but my ISP has confirmed that it
supports the XMLhttp object on their servers.

My idea is that I want to be able to create a localised search engine for
people, but I don't want to put my code on their sites. My idea was like
how FusionBot do it, in that they use ASP and I think the XMLhttp object to
basically drag all of the info out a remote site and store it into a DB on
their web site. Once complete, the user then references a page on my web
server when their visitor tries to do a search.

As I'm going to be a complete newbie in this area, has anybody done anything
like this so that they can give me some pointers??

Thanks

Laphan

Q: Is PHP search engine friendly? Q: Will search engine spiders crawl my PHP pages? A: Spiders should crawl anything provided they're accessible. Since, nowadays most of the websites are been developed with PHP, you are not supposed to doubt that. As a proof that PHP pages could be crawled and indexed, refer this Google search

Hi Guys Wonder if you can help. I know there are quite a few out there, FusionBot being one that I have taken a shine to, but if not just for the challenge I want to create my own localised search engine that allows me to put search across say 5 - 10 of my web sites. Now these sites are on different servers and most are not ASP hosted, but as

I have designed a site for a client, but they have hired an internet marketing person to incrase their search engine ranking and traffic. He wants to put extra-large fonts on every page which will make the design looks a bit rediculous. He also said that the big text cannot be hidden. I am just trying to find a compromise. Here are the questions: (1) Is it true that a page with an <H1> tag and very big font size will make a search...

Hi, Anyone has the background for explaining? I have made a search on my name and I have got a link to another search engine. The link's title was the search phrase for the other search engine (a wicked phrase). Some but not all of the words of that phrase exist in my website. I reported it and they removed the link but did not give explanations.

My manager wants me to develop a search program, that would work like they have it at edorado.com. She made up her requirements after having compared how search works at different websites, like eBay, Yahoo and others. This is what she wants my program to be able to do: (try this test at different websites just for fun). At eBay: - enter the word 'television' in a search field à you will get 2155 items.

Are the differences between a search engine, a subject directory and a meta search engine significant for an ebusiness web site owner? A meta search engine merely uses ordinary existing search engines. A subject directory classifies websites into some category. Could anyone point me towards the differences between these three that are significant for an ebusiness web site owner?

Does anyone know of a way to create a search page under ASP.NET 2.0? I have started out by configuring a catalog in Index Server, registering the aspx, ascx extensions in the registry to allow them to be indexed and built the catalog as per KB article, but I've run into an interesting problem. When you publish a website from Whidbey, it precompiles everything and strips out the searchable details of the page (metadata, html, etc)...

I am building a website with identical content in four different languages. On a first visit, the search engine determines the language of the content by the IP address of the visitor. What the user sees is content in only one language at a time. He or she can then switch to another language and set this as the preferred language, but again he or she sees content in only this one other language. The question now is: How do I get search...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
