Using search front-ends
=======================
Doing search
------------
Open your prefered frontend in Web browser:
http://your.web.server/path/to/search.cgi
or
http://your.web.server/path/to/search.php3
or
http://your.web.server/path/to/search.pl
To find something just type words you want to find and press SUBMIT button.
For example, "mysql odbc". You should not use quotes " in query,
it's written here only to divide query from other text. UdmSearch
will find all documents that contain word "mysql" and/or word "odbc".
Best documents having bigger weights will be displayed first.
Search parameters
-----------------
UdmSearch frontends support the following parameters given in CGI query
string. You may use them in HTML form on search page.
q text parameter with search query
ps page size, number of search results displayed on one page,
20 by default. Maximum page size is 100. This value does
not allow to pass very big page sizes to avoid server overload
and might be changed with MAX_PS definition in search.c.
np page number, 0 by default (first page)
m search mode. Currently "all" and "any" values are supported.
o search result type. 0 by default. You may describe several template
sections for every part, for example "res". This allows to choose
for example "Long" or "Short" search result output types. Up to 100
different formats are allowed in the same template.
t tag limit. Limits search through only documents with given tag.
This parameter has the same effect with -t indexer option
ul URL limit, URL substring to limit search through subsection
of database. It supports SQL % and _ LIKE wildcards.
This parameter has the same effect with -u indexer option.
By default search.cgi inserts % signs before and after "ul" value.
It allows to write URL substring in HTML from to limit search,
for example
