Site files include a set of index and configuration files for each search site.
When you create a new search site, you can specify where you want site files
to be stored, or you can accept the default path which is determined by where
you installed the NetWare Web Search Server.
Site files can be stored on any volume visible to the NetWare server that Web
Search is installed on, regardless of which volume your Web Search Server is
installed on. This includes SAN storage device volumes.
Web Search creates two types of indexes:
Crawled: Created as Web Search follows (or crawls) hypertext links until
it reaches a dead end. Web Search can crawl one or more Web sites,
specific areas of a Web site, or specific URLs, even down to a specific
filename.
File System: Created as Web Search indexes content on a file server. Web
Search can index one or more paths on multiple volumes, including
Storag Area Network (SAN) storage devices.
Similarly, there are two forms you can use to create an index: Define Crawled
Index, and Define Crawled Index (Advanced).
Define Crawled Index is the standard form for creating either a crawled or file
system index. But the Define Crawled Index (Advanced) form offers more
options than the standard form, including options that override default search
site settings. Both methods are described below.
Web Search can search across multiple indexes within a single search site.
However, searching a single index is generally faster than searching across
multiple indexes.
HINT:
While you can search across multiple indexes within a single search site,
you cannot search across multiple search sites.
