Search Function with XML Results

I want to add an Accessible search function to our website - the only
way I can do this is to find a search system that can return its
results as an XML document.

I am currently using FreeFind.com which is a great search system but
only returns the data in HTML (really old HTML too).

Another one I have found is FusioBot - this DOES return XML but I have
no way of being able to exculde parts of the page (eg the navigation -
I don't want every page to come back as a match for 'Contact' just cos
it is a word in the nav).

Again - FusionBot offers a soulution to this (by using index and
noindex tags) but these would make the page fail Accessibility checks.

I have been looking into this for weeks now - does anyone have any
alternatives or suggestions? We want the search function to be a part
of our site - not an external thing like Google Site Search.

Thanks,

Rick Huby

A year or two back I needed a search script to scan thru HTML files on a client site. Usual sorta thing. A quick search turned up a neat script that provided great search results. It was fast, returned the hyperlinked page title, filename, and the body txt (30 preceding and following words) in context with the search word highlighted. Excellent.! See it working at: http://www.ipt.co.za Just search for "firearm"

Hello, I have set this script up to add paging to a search results page. Which on the first page works fine. I calculates how many pages there should be depending on the number of results returned from my search and how many records I have set it to display per page. All great so far, HOWEVER..... When you click the next link to see the next 10 results on the next page, it just dumps the search details and pulls up all the records in the...

Trying to use the 'search' in the docs section of PostgreSQL.org is extremely SLOW. Considering this is a website for a database and databases are supposed to be good for indexing content, I'd expect a much faster performance. I submitted my search over two minutes ago. I just finished this email to the list. The results have still not come back. I only searched for: SECURITY INVOKER

Hi Folks, I have a VB app, and I have been working at it for a while, and I am now at the stage where I want to create a search function. Now don't be scared! It is in the .Net compact framework, and uses SQL Server CE as the database (This seems to scare off people trying to help! lol) but the connection and reading of data etc is all handled, and I think it is going to be a "relatively" simple function. My database has a number of fields...

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,...
