Inserting a site search
WebPlus offers a choice of powerful search options depending on how
(and what part of) your website is to be searched. The two search
options available are:
• Online Search: A user's search terms match with text content
on pages in your site, including those containing text frames,
tables, and Smart Objects such as blogs, forums, CMS, etc.
Smart tags can be assigned to pages in advance to limit
searching to just those pages.
• Client-side Search (as in WebPlus X7): A user's search terms
match with text that appears throughout your entire site in text
frames or tables only. Use for basic sites if you're not using
Smart Objects or you don't need selective page searching.
The Online Search option uses Serif Web Resources to perform the
search so you'll need to have a Serif Web Resources account and a
Site Membership Manager created in the account to use the feature.
Neither search option can search offsite links, only pages in your
site.
For both options, the search facility is created by combining a Site
Search Form object with a Site Search Results Frame.
