Figure 6 Steps to Creating a Search Site
1
Plan your search
site.
Accessing NetWare Web Search Manager
2
Define your search
site.
3
Build your indexes.
Repeat this process for each new search site you want to add. A search site can
include files located in one or more directories on a file server, or files located
in one or more directories on a Web server.
Indexing a Web server (or Web site) involves a process known as crawling.
The Web Search Server begins indexing files on a Web server at the directory
level you specify and continues to index along hypertext links until reaching
a dead-end, which occurs when either a linked file cannot be found or when
there are no more links defined.
NetWare Web Search Manager is the tool you use to create and manage search
sites and their associated indexes.
To run NetWare Web Search Manager, do the following:
1
Type https://domainname:portnumber in your Web browser's
address field, where portnumber is the port number of NetWare Web
Manager and press Enter.
HINT:
You must use the HTTPS protocol because NetWare Web Search Manager
uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). You can disable encryption from the Admin
Preferences page of NetWare Web Manager (see
page 33).
2
Under NetWare Web Search Server, click the servername link, where
servername is the name of your NetWare Web Search Server.
4
Use NetWare Web
Search form to
perform test
searches.
