search form sites

[guskoul]

Hello to everyone.
I am a new user .
I just install 1.8.3 version and i have some questions.
1)First how can i have only the url of my site (www.taxheaven.gr) at the search form , and not all the folders.
At this time all my site folders appears at the search form .
2) When indexing my site sometimes it stops . I know that this could be because of deadlinks, but the question is how can i start indexing again from the point spider stops.
Don't tell me that i have to do that from the beggining.!!
3)Is there a file or a database table that shows after index ,the structure of the indexing links?
4.)Is there a possible way to not index meta keywords only?
For example i want to index only description and content of all my pages. Can i do that?

Thanks in advance
p.s. Sorry for my bad english

Welcome to the forum!

From the admin panel, highlight your site on the right-hand side, then click Update Form. Click the red X on any directory you want to exclude. Note: This will delete indexed entries!

2) When indexing my site sometimes it stops . I know that this could be because of deadlinks, but the question is how can i start indexing again from the point spider stops.

No, you don't have to start over. You do have to unlock the site first. See this thread if you don't know how to do that. From the admin panel, highlight your site, click on update form, then click on the green check mark to resume spidering.

3)Is there a file or a database table that shows after index ,the structure of the indexing links?

I'm not sure what you're looking for. Is it a list of all the pages that were indexed?

4.)Is there a possible way to not index meta keywords only?
For example i want to index only description and content of all my pages. Can i do that?

I don't believe those can be excluded from the index. However, you can set the search page so it doesn't display the meta description as follows:

PHP Code:

define('DISPLAY_SUMMARY',false);

But what if i want to keep All the indexed entries and change only the search form.

Don't tell me that if choose from the drop down list www.taxheaven.gr , the search engine will only look at the entries of this url and not at all the site (included subfolders)

Well, the drop-down list is how you can restrict the search to certain directories or sites.

Are you asking how to customize the search form itself?

Hi, set the following in the config file:

PHP Code:

define('DISPLAY_DROPDOWN',false);

Yes Yes..
I want only the starting url to apears in the search form (www.mysite.gr)

Perhaps try the following in the config file...

PHP Code:

define('DISPLAY_DROPDOWN',true);
define('DROPDOWN_URLS',false); 


If you don't want the drop down, then set the following:

PHP Code:

define('DISPLAY_DROPDOWN',false); 


Another option is to mod the function_phpdig_form.php file.

Thanks it worked

By the way This is the best search script ever.
I have tried too many (50-60 scripts perl-php-java) and this is the best .
Good work
