setting up webinator to search different database

Post by Thunderstone »



I currently have webinator installed and set up on the account that our
company webpage is in. I'd like to also set up the webinator to search
our company intranet which is on the same server. Currently, in order to
search our companies website, users go to
www.athenet.net/cgi-bin/webinator/ which is where the webinator program is
stored. There is also a directory called webinator in the account that
the program is set up to search. Now, for my question: how do i set up
the webinator to search our intranet? I installed webinator so long ago
that I don't really remember how I set it up and I can't find any
documentation files in either the cgi-bin directory where texis and the
webinator live or the webinator directory.

thanks-

setting up webinator to search different database

You just specify a different database to gw with the -d option when you walk
the intranet. Then on the search form for the intranet you add a hidden
variable called db :
<input type=hidden name=db value=intra>
(assuming that you called the new database "intra")

Documentation is at http://www.thunderstone.com/webinator/

The current version is 2.1. You might also consider upgrading if you're using
an old 1.x version.
