Hi!
Topic: multiple data bases and limiting search scope
I have created a single data base that includes 3 different TOPICS in three corresponding subdirectories.
The site is laid out as follows:
I have these three topics, for example with models below each major subdirectory:
EXAMPLE:
==============
www.auto.com/cars/
/cars/gm/
/cars/ford/
/trucks/
/trucks/Toyota/
/trucks/dodge/
/boats/
/boats/sail/
/boats/motor/
/boats/canoes/
Ok you get the basic idea.
I already have a single data base that will search all these pages at once.
MY QUESTION:
Can I limit a search to a single directory and to automatically include all subdirectories.
Lets say I want to search for cars only.
The directory structure I want to search is this: (a fictitious example for simplicity sake)
www.autos.com/cars/
www.autos.com/cars/gm/
www.autos.com/cars/gm/lumina/
www.autos.com/cars/ford/
www.autos.com/cars/ford/mustang/
www.autos.com/cars/toyota/
www.autos.com/cars/toyota/camry/
Now in reality there are perhaps 150 different subdirectories.
QUESTION #2:
Is there a command to either create and index a separate data base: 1. cars 2. boat 3. trucks
or would it be better to create one large data base and limit the search to a single directory that INCLUDES automatically, all subdirectories.
I want to be able to search separately for 1. cars 2. boat 3. trucks.
Thanks!
Steve
