|
- Updated: Feb, 2, 2000. Y2K bug fixed
- By: Fluid Dynamics
- Price: Freeware
- You can see it in action here!
- Download it from Here!
(100k Unix Tar File can be read by Winzip)
- Download as a ZIP File!
(28K Zip File)
If you unzip any tar file with Winzip- Be sure when you FTP
any file NOT ending with jpg or gif to your UNIX Server-
that you move them as ASCII and not as Binary. THIS IS
ESSENTIAL and the largest source of installation failures!

This PERL search engine is similar to the Intermediate search,
but rather than searching through your files real-time, it reads
an index file that you create/update as needed. This method
greatly cuts down on the amount of work the computer has to
do while your readers wait for the result!
If your site has a lot of pages, this is the script for you.
Features
- Easy to install, but read the instructions in the scripts
carefully.
- Full control over what files are indexed
- Detailed user search instructions
- Output like Altavista. Takes advantage of META tags.
In addition to the html files, the archive will create
build.pl and search.pl
Before uploading to your cgi-bin directory, make certain
that neither of these names are already used by other
scripts!
I will be writing custom installation instructions when
I get a chance. Frankly, the instructions at
XAV
are fantastic!
After moving this tar
(tape archive)
file to your cgi-bin directory, issue the command:
tar xvf xavatoria.tar
