highlight and date

Post by Thunderstone »



I am using a webinator vortex script that is modified from the altavista
clone.

I would like to get the keywords that appear in the search results abstracts
to be highlighted like they are using the standard search script, but I
don't see how to accomplish this. Is this one of the <EXPORT values?



Also, a separate issue, some of the listings in our database appear with a
date at the end and some have no date. I would like them all to display a
visited date. I believe this is called by this line in the script

<fmt "%at" "%d %B %y" $Visited>

I am using this syntax to spider pages originally

gw -d/u1/data/user -noindex -a -O -b -C -L -r -R -fshtml -fasp -fcfm -fxp -f
news -t15 -z5000 "&file"


The database is indexed by a cron every 20 minutes using this syntax

gw -d/u1/data/user -v4 -index


I am using the following syntax to reload pages approximately monthly

nohup
/gw2 -d/u1/data/user -a -b -C -r -fshtml -fasp -fcfm -fxp -fnews -z5000 -e"1
999-10-01" -V -X -R -v4


Thanks

The default script uses <mm>, </mm>, and <fmtcp>
See http://www.thunderstone.com/vortexman/node89.html

Or you could use the <abstract> function with the query.
See http://www.thunderstone.com/vortexman/node143.html


All pages have a date associated with them regardless of walk options.
The above <fmt> is used to generate the display of that date and it
should always appear unless the script has been modified to add a conditional
or error. View the source of the results page to see if the "missing" date
is in the source. If it's there, but not visible, it's an HTML coding error
in your search script. Otherwise it's a logic error in your search script.
