Guidelines for Using Variables
Working with Template Variables and
Search Parameters
If you are a developer or are comfortable programming in HTML and working
with variables and parameters, you can create an advanced search solution that
your users can use to perform complex searches.
Building an advanced search solution involves the use of search and print
template variables and search parameters to create or customize search and
print templates, and to create or customize one or more search forms.
You must also have used NetWare
generate one or more indexes.
The Web Search Manager is accessed from NetWare Web Manager. For more
information about using NetWare Web Manager, see
NetWare Web Manager," on page
Please note the following guidelines when using variables to either customize
the default templates, or to create new templates from scratch:
Case Sensitivity: All variables are case sensitive. Changing case in a
variable will cause Web Search to ignore the variable.
Variable Formatting: All variables must be used exactly as they appear in
the tables below. Variables always begin with two dollar signs ($$) next
to each other.
Success of a Variable: The inclusion of a variable does not guarantee that
information will be returned after a search is performed. For example,
using the $$Author variable might not return the name of a document's
author if that information is not included in the META tag of the
document.
Internationalizing Templates: If you want to internationalize your
templates, you must create a template for each language you want to
support in your search solution. For more information about languages,
see Chapter 19, "Internationalizing Your Search Solution," on page
