Introduction
===========================================================================================
Thank you for downloading this application and hopefully you will find it of benefit to you.

If you have not downloaded this application from Web Wiz Guide then check for the latest
version at: -

http://www.webwizguide.info


This application uses ASP and must be run through a web sever supporting ASP. 

It has been tested on PWS 4 and IIS 4 and 5 on Windows 2000/XP/NT4/98

You must also have the VB Scripting Engine version 5 or above installed on the web server
if you don't then you must download the simpler version of this application from Web Wiz guide.

===========================================================================================




Using the Advanced Site Search Engine
===========================================================================================

1. Unzip all the files to the same directory

2. Files must be run through an ASP enabled web server (not the same as CGI)

3. The site_search.asp file needs to be in the root directory of your website to be able 
to search all files on your site as it can only search files in the directory the application is
placed in and files in sub directories

===========================================================================================





SETTING UP THE SEARCH APPLICATION
===========================================================================================

Open the file site_search.asp in Note Pad and near the top of the application you can set the 
following functions: -

1. How many results you want shown on each page

2. Set the file extension types you want the application to search, separated by commas, the default 
is, htm, html, asp, shtml

3. Enter the names of the folders, separated by commas, you don't want searched like 
administration folders or the cgi_bin

4. Enter the names of the files, (include the extension type i.e. .htm) separated by commas, of 
the files you don't want searching like asp files that are only used for processing forms etc.

5. Set the English Language boolean to False if you are not using the application on an English 
Language web site.
===========================================================================================



Take Note!!!!
===========================================================================================
The speed at which the searching is done depends on how many files there are to search on 
the site, the load on the server, and the speed of the servers hard drives.

The  website search engine uses the Regular Expressions which are a part of the VBScript 5.0 
scripting engine which needs to be installed on the web server. If you have access to the web
server VBScript 5.0 scripting engine can be installed by installing IE5+ on the web server.


WARNING!!!
Due to the complex nature of this application and the different ways directories are mapped on 
web servers the application is not guaranteed to run on all web sites so please check that the 
application runs with your web site on the web server before you take the time to customize it.

This application will only work with sites that use Western Character sets!!

===========================================================================================




Tips For Better Search Results
===========================================================================================

The following tips will give more description results from the site search engine also they 
will give your site higher ratings by search engines like Google, AstaVista, Lycos, etc.


1. Make sure each page of your site has a title otherwise the application will return a 'no title' 
for the page. Titles should be standard HTML titles as follows: -

	<title>PLACE YOUR PAGE TITLE HERE</title>


2. Make sure that each page has a meta description of what the page contains otherwise the 
results will return 'There is no description for this page'. Meta descriptions should be 
standard HTML meta tags that the Internet search engines read: -

	<meta name="Description" content="PLACE PAGE DESCRIPTION HERE">
===========================================================================================





Compilation Errors
===========================================================================================

If you receive the following error: -

	Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a03ea'
	Syntax error

It means that the server does not have the VBScript Engine version 5 or above installed, 
and so the application will NOT run on the web server you are using.

You will have to download the other simpler version of the Site Search Engine from Web 
Wiz Guide that does not require the VBScript Engine 5 to run. 

If you are running the server yourself you will have to download and install the latest 
VBScript Engine from Microsoft, this can be done by installing IE5+ on the web server.
===========================================================================================
