Shawn, How does your Search Engine PHP stuff differ from what one gets at the Google site? Why use one over the other? How do these things work relative to site updates (files changing directories, etc.) – does the search happen live across the site at every client search or access some kind of index? Thanks, Elier
I am not sure what you mean by the DP Search Engine but I assume you mean the keyword tracker. The keyword tracker can do in no time what it would take me all day to do and record on my one. Whats more it stores the result and allows us to compare our position for a particular keyword phrase over time. Shannon Sorry I did not understand your question.
Sorry for the confusion, I’m referring to the “Search Engine Script - Put Search Functionality On Your Website†at: www.digitalpoint.com/tools/search/ Elier
Actually I think he means this: http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/search/ It isn't a unique search engine. What it does is allow you to put a Google search on your website that only includes your pages. In order to be effective, you need to have the majority of your pages indexed The "value added" part is that it integrates into your site better then the garden variety Google search
Thanks for the reply. The “value added†is the ability to hide the relationship with Google? In reference to the indexing – if I remove a number of html files from the indexed site – does a search/find still show those files until the site is at some point, once again indexed?
Yep... that's basically it. You can keep users on your site, and control how the results look, rather than pass them off to a different site (google.com).
