Educe-ASP Search Engine

This search engine provides full indexing and search facilities for any web site either on the Internet or an Intranet. An online demonstration is available here.

Functions:

Indexing of the title, description, keywords and full content of all HTML, ASP and TXT documents using a recursive call to all pages in a web site and sub folders excluding those folders listed in the robots.txt file.
Enhanced support for the robots.txt file allowing single files and entire folders to be excluded.
Simple search of the index for your web pages or advanced search for the provided search page. ASP or HTML code to insert into you current web pages to provide the search facility.
Highlighting of the search word(s) within the search results.
Email notification of searches performed using the search engine. These notifications can be set to be sent after any number of searches from every search up to every x million searches. Useful for tracking the sort of information that your web surfers want from your site.
Dreamweaver template included in the source to make customisation of the application by the customer easier.
Password protected remote maintenance of your index including:
- Capturing file type descriptions (for the host server) for use during the indexing process.
- Creation of a new index.
- Update of a current index.
- Removal of a web page and all words solely associated to that page from the index.
- Changing various default properties to affect the search and / or displayed results.
- Resetting the default properties.
- Editing the word exclusion list.
- Editing the email search notification settings.

The engine uses Microsoft Access databases (97 or 2000) although you only need the MDAC not Access to provide search facilities on your web site.

You can try it free of charge using the online demonstration. Rather than reproducing the read me file you can download it and read at your leisure.

Symptoms	Fix
The indexer displays the first sub folder and nothing else.	Version 1.5.2 Ensure the robots.txt file is in the root folder for your web site. See http://www.searchengineworld.com/robots/robots_tutorial.htm for more information on the robots.txt file.
Searching for more than 1 word at a time generates an error when more than 1 page of results is returned and you select next to view the second page.	Version 1.5.3 In file search.asp there are 4 lines that generate the 'back' and 'next' links. The following code is missing from these lines: + "&radioAndOr=" + Server.URLEncode(Request.QueryString("radioAndOr")) This code needs to be added near the end of the line between ) + The ) + combination appears several times in these four lines. Below is an example of the end of a 'Next' line showing original code and new code snippets: Original Server.URLEncode(Request.QueryString("chkType")) + "'>Next</a>" New (no line breaks) Server.URLEncode(Request.QueryString("chkType")) + "&radioAndOr=" + Server.URLEncode(Request.QueryString("radioAndOr")) + "'>Next</a>" If you have not modified the search.asp file you will find the 4 lines that need modifying at line numbers; 159, 162, 191 and 194.
I have paid for the source code but it keeps resetting itself every day?	The reset code can be found on the default.asp page at around lines 33-42 and looks starts with this line: If strResetDate <> CStr(Date()) Then 'reset the demonstration .... .... End If Just comment (') it out to prevent it resetting your database.
Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0113' Script timed out	Either remotely or directly change the timeout property in the tblProperties table in the database. This is set to 600 seconds by default. Increase this until it is large enough for the script to complete (this depends on how big your web site is).
Each server reports file types differently resulting in files not being included in the index.	Version 1.5.4 captures the file types to a database and then uses these for indexing. A spin off of this allows the administrator of the search engine to specify which file types are to be indexed (ASP, text, HTML etc). This does not provide indexing for some file types such as pdf.
The advanced search feature was not providing the correct results for the all words option.	Version 1.5.5 has fixed this and improved the SQL for this part of the application.
New functions: Enhanced support for robots.txt by allowing file exclusion. Search words are highlighted within the results. Improved password support for installed code. Demonstration overhaul. Added Dreamweaver template to help customise application when installed on a customers server.	Version 1.5.6
