Customizing Templates
Customizing the Search Templates
Customizing Your Search Solutions
You can quickly create a custom search solution by modifying the default
®
NetWare Web Search templates. Templates include some fundamental
options for users, but you can add or remove options and modify the form
layout and design to give the search form the look, feel, and function you need.
If you are creating a search service for another company's Web site, you can
modify the templates to match the look and feel of their Web site.
If you are confident in coding with HTML, you can start with the default
search page template to get a feel for the available parameters and then begin
coding completely new search and print templates from scratch.
For more information about the necessary components for building a solution
from scratch, see Chapter 16, "Understanding Templates," on page 177
Chapter 18, "Working with Template Variables and Search Parameters," on
page 191.
You can extend the capabilities of NetWare Web Search Server by
customizing the templates.
The first step is to determine which components of Web Search you want to
customize. For example, if you only want to add a few additional search
features to the search page template and modify its background color and table
size, you would modify the SearchTemplate.html or SearchTemplate.Simple
files.
This section discusses how to customize the search, print, and result templates
and how to use available parameters and variables to create a customized
search solution.
You can customize the design and functionality of the static or dynamic search
