Dear Thunderstone:
We are reviewing webinator and have read through the manual. While
most of our questions have been answered there are two things we want
to confirm that relate to interface customization.=20
1. Make it simple for a site user (one that has their own disk
directory) to have only their directory indexed, and let them put a
search box in their own area. This is totally independent of the full
site search.
You do this as a service for other sites by having us submit a short
form (I did this and it worked fine). We could do the same for our own
site by changing a few lines of code on your script. True? We follow
your model, give number of days of non use before it is automatically
removed and have it re- index at a desired frequency.=20
2. Make available several results formats for the user.=20
You give examples of outputs of other search engines (e.g., alta
vista). A pull down menu could list several outputs depending on what
the user wanted, or a menu of dates of files written, so the user
could see what they want. Right?=20
Thank you.
