Question categories:  Search Site Engine

Can I use the Aplus.Net Control Panel to add a search engine dialogue to a page in my website?

Answer by: Stuart Pierce, Knowledge Base Support

Upon installation the Website Search Engine will be located at http://yourdomain.com/search_form.html.

You can provide access to the search engine in one of two ways:

  • by providing a link from your existing pages to a stand-alone search engine page
  • by incorporating the search dialogue into the design of your web pages.

Linking to the Search Engine

Installing the Website Search Engine using the Aplus.Net Control Panel will create a file (search_form.html) contained in your website’s html/ directory that you can link to from your existing pages. The appropriate code is contained below:

<a href="/search_form.html">Click to Search</a>

Adding a Search Dialogue

You can also incorporate the HTML code contained in search_form.html into the design of your existing HTML pages.  If you manipulate the HTML code, please make sure not to remove any of the input or option tags; changing these tags may cause your search engine to function unpredictably, if at all. The appropriate code is contained below:

<form action="//SearchEngine/search.pl" method="get"><br><br>

<select name="mode"><br><br>

<option value="all">Match ALL words</option><br><br>

<option value="any">Match ANY word</option><br><br>

</select><br>

<input type="text" name="q" /><input type="submit"

value="Search" /><br><br>

<input type="hidden" name="p" value="1" /><br>

<input type="hidden" name="lang" value="en" /><br>

<input type="hidden" name="include" value=""/><br>

<input type="hidden" name="exclude" value=""/><br>

<input type="hidden" name="penalty" value="0"/><br>

</form>

Here’s how to access the Website Search Engine:

  1. Start by logging into the Aplus.Net Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net using your Registration Number and Customer Password.
  2. Select Web Hosting from the top navigation bar.
  3. Next, select Hosted Domains and click on Manage Hosted Domains.
  4. Now, select the hosted domain that you’d like to manage.
  5. Click on the Design tab.
  6. Finally, click the Website Search Engine icon.
