Hello, please help....

1. How can I get the Search engine to ignore my top "menu bar" on every page ?

Two ways to stop this from happening. 1) replace the hyperlinks with images or 2) Use an SSI to import the menu and make sure that the directory containing the SSI is in your ignore list.
2. How do I get rid of the Pet highlited part ( I have tried everything)

In your search_results template you have <!-- templatecell : must_words --> and <!-- templatecell : may_words -->. It is the content of these templatecells which determine how they keywords appear. Remove the BACKGROUND: cyan style elements.

3. I'm using it to search both.... entire site and AM articles, but it is duplicating results when it comes to the articles part....WHY ?

Actually, the answer provided in my previous post should also solve this problemCool http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/forum.cgi?post=2869

About #2...

1. Funny you mention SSI, I did tried that, but didn't think of the "ignore list" part, thank you Blush

2. Besides this "SSI" and "graphics" solution... is there any special tag, that will tell the search engine not to include or by pass certain text.. ? or how about text between certain tags... ie" the top menu is a library item and dream weavr inserts <!--- library.xxx -->


3. Curious... why does the "Search" not include the menu part in the "articles it finds " SEE THIS notice no results from any articles does NOT include the | MENU | ITEMS | ??? articles use same basic templates ??


About#3

I haven't been able to just modify the <span> tag because......

Ready for this...?? the code in the template is:

<span style="font-weight: bold;">$word$</span>

Yet results print it as:

<span style="background:cyan; color:blue; font-weight: bold;">Arizona</span>

Where does the "background:cyan;color:blue" comes from?? that is what I haven't been able to find out... I removed all sytle sheets, and still did it... then I even deleted all info inside the <span> tags, and still did it... then I removed the tags completely, and still did it!! PirateCrazy


I looked at my template in another installation, looks exactly the same and no problem at all ??

Pat

Hi Pat,

I'm afraid that there isn't a tag which you can put around content that you do not wish to have searched. Good idea though. I'll mention it to our developers :)

I took a look at the search you hyperlinked in item 3. It DOES show the menu. Look at the first, third and fourth results, which display the end of the menu.

In the current version of Search Engine (Version 1.06 - you're entitled to a free upgrade to the latest version if you do not already have it :), all the formatting for keywords is provided by the templatecell. Have you tried searching the template with a text editor for the word "cyan"?

If this still doesn't solve your problem, please fill out the support request form at http://www.interactivetools.com/support/email_support.cgi so that we can take a look for you.

Re: [ken] Search results questions [In reply to] Can't Post

Ken, we may have a bug in our hands.. I am using Search 1.06 and I had already tried everything you have suggested even before posting here. I even searched for the word "cyan" in the entire "Search" folder (both cgi and regular) No where to be found !? This is why I haven't been able to figure it out... The problem has to be in one of the scrambled .cgi files which I can't search

Here is the template that came with 1.06
