We are currently evaluating a freeware copy of Webinator. The product works very well for searching by document title name. Knowing that the freeware searches only html documents I have created some sample html documents on which I am running searches. When searching for words contained in the contents of the document I get no results. When I search for words contained in the document title it works great.
The goal is to demonstrate it's functionality for searching contents of documents. Once complete we plan to purchase a commercial version on which I understand Webinator should be capable of searching other common document types.
That is unusual, as Webinator does search the contents of HTML documents in its default configuration. When you get results searching on title, if you then click on the match info link, do you see the contents of the documents?
When the document is retrieved as a result of a title search, the content of the document is readily available.
Because we're testing on an intranet I can not offer you a direct example. I created a document in word, saved as an html doc called "html test 3" located in: \\Apollo\Departments\Client & Partner Services\Channel Operations\Sample Html\html test 3.html.
Within the document is the word "arielle". When searching on the individual word "arielle", the are no documents found in the results.
The location that Webinator knows about will be the HTTP url to the document, as it looks at the document as it is served by the webserver, not the file on disk.
Have you modified the search script? Which options are you choosing when you search? When you do the title search, and choose match info (not the actual document) do you see the word? When the search returns no result are there any HTML comments in the source indicating problems?
