  • Making a searchpage
    In order to use the search engine on your web pages, you use the IntraSeek tags. Let's start with some examples:

    Example 1
    A sample HTML page with an Intraseek search function in English:

    <html>
    <head><title><intraseek_title lang=en></title></head>
    <body>

    <intraseek_form lang=en ids="homepages, products">
    <intraseek_results lang=en>

    </body></html>>

    Between the <title> and </title> tags you can add the <intraseek_title> tag.

    The <intraseek_form>tag adds a search form in English (lang=en) for the profiles homepages and products.

    Finally, the <intraseek_results> tag will be substituted by Intraseek with the result (scores, summaries and links) for the search. The language used here will be English as well (lang=en).

    If you want to make several profiles searchable from the same web page you can replace the default_id attribute in <intraseek_form> with ids= followed by a comma-separated list of active profile id's.

    Example 2
    Make several profiles searchable from the same page:

    <intraseek_form lang=en ids="homepages,corporate,products">
    <intraseek_results lang=en>

    You can use the lang= attribute in all the IntraSeek tags to change language. If nothing is specified, English will be used as default. Note that the lang= attribute will only affect the IntraSeek output, and will not translate the actual summaries.

    The languages that are supported in this release are:
    Country   Code   Country   Code  
    Danish   da   English   en  
    Finnish   fi   French   fr  
    German   de   Hungarian   hu  
    Italian   it   Lithuanian   lt  
    Norwegian   no   Portugese   pt  
    Romanian   ro   Slovenian   sl  
    Spanish   es   Swedish   se  

    ¹)Assumes iso-8859-2 encoding.

    If you find any problems with the translations, or want to make IntraSeek support your own language you can edit the file "modules/languages.h" manually. We at Idonex would also appreciate information about language errors, in order to correct them in the forthcoming releases.

    Web page summaries
    Besides the lang= attribute, there are three other useful attributes: target=, action= and textcolor=. Target and action work within the <intraseek_form> and <intraseek_results> tag, while textcolor only works in <intraseek_results>. By defining target=, you can select the destination frame, in which to display the search results. If you specify action=, you can send the users to a different page where you can display the search results, and by using textcolor= you can change the text color of the search result web page summaries.

    The example below uses the "Target=" and "Textcolor=" attributes.

    <intraseek_form target="otherpage.html" default_id="homepages"> <intraseek_results textcolor="#400000">

    Finally, there is a third optional attribute to <intraseek_results> called charset=, which is discussed in the next chapter.
