Searching on multiple databases

Post by Thunderstone »



I've pored over the (very helpful) Webinator
documentation, but I've been unable to find out
how one searches on databases other than the default.
Is there an argument which needs to be passed to the
webinator cgi search program to have it search on a
specified database? I'm played with some obvious ones,
but no luck.

Thanks,

Heather Sarik

The database must be under htdocs/webinator .
Set the "db" variable on the search form to the name of the database
without the path. So for the default of htdocs/webinator/db you would
use:
<input type=hidden name=db value=db>
for something called htdocs/webinator/mine you would use:
<input type=hidden name=db value=mine>
