Taking a Test Run
When you install NetWare Web Manager, the contents of the /searchroot/
DOCS directory located at the root of your server’s SYS: volume is indexed
automatically. After restarting your server upon completion of the install, Web
Search Server then automatically performs a crawl of your NetWare Web
Server’s /DOCS root directory.
Once you start the Enterprise Web Server, you can open the search page using
your Web browser and perform a search on the contents of the /searchroot/
DOCS directory.
To test NetWare Web Search, do the following:
1. Type http://domainname/novellsearch in your Web
browser’s address field and press Enter.
IMPORTANT: The URL is case sensitive. Use the exact case shown above.
2. Type NetWare in the Search field > press Enter.
TOOL TIP The Search form template, SearchTemplate.html, is stored on
your SYS: volume at /searchroot/TEMPLATES. See “Customizing Your Web
Search Solution” on page 136 for information about how to customize
templates.
Customizing Your Web Search Solution
Once you’ve defined one or more search sites and created indexes for them,
you can customize your Web Search solution by modifying the default search
form and result and print templates, or by creating a new search solution from
scratch using the variables and parameters described in Chapter 18, “Working
with Template Variables and Search Parameters,” on page 191.
For more information about modifying the default search form and the search
and print templates to create your own custom search solution, see Chapter 17,
“Customizing Your Search Solutions,” on page 185.
For more information about building a professional search service, see
Chapter 13, “Planning Your Search Service,” on page 139.
