MyDomainSearch v.1.0 Documentation

 

1. Features

MyDomainSearch v.1.0 is an applet that adds search capabilities to your site. It's purpose is to help your visitors find information in your site more easily. You can also use this applet on your computer to search uploaded web sites (for example large sites that when browsed online had search capabilities).

Being an applet, you do not have to worry about the server where your page is hosted, all you have to do is link a page of your site to the page where the applet resides. It also is very fast and small (11kB).

It parses all the documents in your web site and searches for the keyword or the phrase the user introduced. The search results are displayed in real time and the user can visit a link even before the search is finished. It is full frames compatible and  ignores html comments.

The applet parses the pages for links and searches only the documents retrieved through those links that are inside your domain. It cannot search pages outside or "below" the applet's codebase (which is actually a web address). Check a more detailed example for more information about the codebase.

The current version searches exactly the keyword introduced (if it is only one word, it searches that word exactly else if there are multiple words it searches the phrase constructed with those words). Check to see how you can save up to $10 by registering this version of the applet.

2. Usage

You can create a single web page for the applet or you can embed the applet tag in an existing web page. Following is an example of an applet tag:

<applet code=MyDomainSearch.class width=300 height=200>
</applet>

The width and height values represent the values (in pixels) of the width and height of the applet. You can customize the applet by specifying other parameters:

Here is an example of an applet tag with the complete list of parameters:

<applet code=MyDomainSearch.class width=300 height=200>
    <param name=index value="index.html">
    <param name=param value="Search,Stop,Enter keyword,">
    <param name=np value="No pages found">
    <param name=op value="One page found. Click on the link.">
    <param name=mp value="pages found. Click on a link.">
</applet>

 

3. Installation

The installation is as simple as uploading the class file and the html page containing the applet tag to your web server.

 

4. Registration and Pricing

You can register MyDomainSearch on-line. The registration fee is only $20. You can download the unregistered version here.

If you register by the 25th of January 2002, the upgrade for the next version of the applet will be free (you can save up to $10).

You will have to provide us with the codebase where the applet will reside (for more information about the codebase carefully read the example) and your e-mail (your e-mail is required to send you the unlocking procedure). Please visit codebase.html to see how you can use a helper applet to get the codebase where the applet will reside.
