Search Maker Pro

Every web developer tries making their website easily navigable for visitors, which also indirectly supports increasing the traffic rate. It’s because if the required content is easily accessible over the website, more and more people would like visiting and re-visiting it. Although menus and links are placed to let visitors access other website pages, but surfing through a large website often gets monotonous for them. Well, its time you opt for a better option, i.e. add a search feature to your website. And for creating an effective search function for your website, or even your offline media like DVD/CD you can try Search Maker Pro. The program examines your website; indexes the entire pages it finds; and finally generates an HTML file. The output HTML file created by the program consists of indexes, and JavaScript enabling usage of indexes in search process.

With wizard-driven interface of Search Maker Pro, the first step of the process is to select indexing whole website automatically; selecting individual website pages to index; or open previously saved configurations. If you’re beginner, then select to index whole website automatically. Press ‘Next’, at second step the program would prompt you to enter website address; enable/disable ‘use relative link’ option; and specify default filename on server. Clicking ‘Next’ you’d have to specify the number of pages for indexing, and also can enter names of the pages to be excluded. Further, the step four requires selecting where to display the search results, and the action to be performed on clicking any search result. The fifth step requires selecting elements to index and search, set quotes limit for search results, and alter advanced settings. Moving on, you get the step for defining template and style sheet for search and results pages. If you’re not using templates, then with further step you can set the formatting for search engine. Now as you press ‘Next’, the program would begin retrieving and creating indexes of web pages. Completing the process, the program displays the final created index that can be saved as HTML for further usage.
