    A search engine, or rather its crawler, goes through all the pages on your web site and creates a searchable index from its findings. This index is then made searchable through a web interface, finding pages where the words the user was searching for are present.

    The indexing of the site is not fully automatic. First, one or more profiles must be created, and then the crawler must be started manually. If everything works properly, the crawler can be told to run at specified regular times, for example, biweekly at Sundays 4:00 pm to keep the data bases up-to-date.

    One of IntraSeek's advantages is the integration of its controls (of both configuration and running) into the Challenger graphical user interface. Another advantage is the ease of adding a search function to HTML code. You need only specify two new IntraSeek tags at the web pages you wish to enhance with a search facility, one for the search form (Query field and Submit button) and another where the result (summaries and links) is to be presented.
