Building a Search Site
134 Getting Results with Novell Web Services
In Figure 5, the user enters a search query in a search form found on
www.digitalairlines.com (1 and 2). When the user clicks the Search button, the
query is sent behind the scenes to the NetWare Web Search Server (3), which
processes the query using index files that were created using the Web Search
Manager.
Web Search then compiles the results of the search into an HTML template,
which could be modified to match the look and feel of
www.digitalairlines.com, and returns them to the user's Web browser (4).
When users click a search result link to view the content, they are taken to that
content, whether it is hosted on www.digitalairlines.com or some other Web
site.
Using NetWare Web Search Manager, you define a new search site and then
index data found on your NetWare server or content found on any intranet or
Internet Web site that can then be searched using the NetWare Web Search
Server.
Building a search site involves four fundamental tasks:
1. Planning your search site, which includes identifying what will be
searched and how to optimize your search solution based on the content
to be searched.
2. Defining a new search site using Web Search Manager.
3. Building one or more indexes for your search site.
4. Testing your new search site using the default search form and the search
and print result templates.
After completing the first task of planning your site (see
"Planning Your Search Service," on page
Manager to complete the remaining tasks. The following figure illustrates
these tasks.
