How this program works
Previous Topic  Next Topic 

 

We have added this page to the help file in order to explain how the program actually functions when it scans your site.  

 

After locating your site, our program follows all the links on that main page, it then follows all the links on those other pages and so on and so forth  This process goes on until your site is completely spidered.  However, if you do not have a link to a page it will not be spidered.  (How are we supposed to know it is there if you don't tell us?) This also includes password protected pages. (Our program cannot spider password protected pages at this time.)

 

For each of the spidered pages, our program collects the Title and all the text from the page. Including both linked and normal text.  If you want a page to appear for a certain search term, you will want to add that word to the Keywords area of the Build Search window.

 

Another area you will want to look at is the Files tab in the Build Search window.  If you have any file extensions which are not listed there, you will want to add them.  If the extensions are not there, our program will not look for them when it scans and the pages will not be listed in your search.
