Cut & Paste JSE internal seach engine v 1.0a
|
Description: JSE is a highly robust, 100% client side search engine for indexing and searching your own site, using JavaScript 1.3. Some of JSE's noteworthy features are:
-
Uses regular expressions to efficiently and rapidly search the index for matches based on the entered keywords. Supports basic logic (ie: negation).
-
Returns the results on a seperate page from the search form itself, neatly formatted. Uses session cookies to transmit the query between the two pages.
-
Stores the index (url, keywords and description for each page you wish to be "crawled") in the "results" page. This means the index is loaded only when a search has actually been performed, saving on bandwidth and download time.
-
Searches title, description and desingated keywords within the index for a match.
-
Works in IE4+, NS4, and NS6+.
Furthermore, the script itself is extremely small- less than 5k in size. JSE is a good way to add local search capabilities when you don't have access to a server side method.
Example: We've set up JSE to index several of our JS tutorial pages.
Enter for example: "math" or "session cookie".
