About Indexing Dynamic Web Content
Automating Site Management
To view an index's log file, do the following:
1
Click View Log in the Action column of the index that you want to work
with.
2
Review the contents of the log file and then either click your browser's
Back button to return to the indexing Management page, or click
Management in the left frame of the Web Search Manager.
Much of the content on the World Wide Web is static HTML, which means
that after a static Web page is created, it remains the same until someone
updates it. By contrast, many newer Web pages are created by Web
applications, including servlets, Java Server Pages (JSP), Common Gateway
Interfaces (CGI), and Pearl Scripts, and are usually created in response to user
input.
An example of dynamic Web content is an eCommerce Web page where items
to be purchased are stored in a virtual shopping cart, the total cost is updated
as users add or remove items from their shopping cart.
Because the content changes regularly, many search engines don't index
dynamic content.
NetWare Web Search includes the ability to index dynamic content. The URL
of dynamic Web content typically includes a question mark (?). You can direct
Web Search to index these URLs by setting the Crawl Dynamic URLs option
to Yes. You could then create a scheduled event that regenerates the specified
indexes every few minutes.
You can eliminate a lot of manual work in keeping indexes up to date by using
Web Search's index scheduling feature. Because the Web and file content you
have indexed will eventually change, you can direct Web Search to update
your indexes on specific dates and at specific times or intervals.
