In search of...
Have an ever expanding, Rapidweaver-built, website? You want to allow your visitors to search through all of those pages quickly and easily do you? What's that? You want them to not have to leave your site to do so?!
Well, you're in luck. Josh Lockhart has just released
Here's a snippet from his site about the plug-in:
Rapidweaver users have been asking for an easy website search solution that will display search results within their own website.... [is] a painfully simple solution that will search your website without redirecting to a third party search engine. Now your website visitors can search your site and view the results, all without leaving your website!
The plug-in does require a few things that some Rapidweaver users may not have available to them if you're hosting your site on .Mac. Be sure you have the following, and that your site is indexed by Yahoo!:
• Requires PHP (4 or 5) with CURL support
• Limited to 5000 queries per IP per 24 hours
• Requires Rapidweaver v3.5.1 (Build 264) or higher
So far I am liking this plug-in. My only complaint is that to this point is that at times Yahoo! takes a good deal of time to dish out results, leaving it as if the site is hung. Perhaps some sort of waiting/processing indicator would help? GoDaddy's servers had poor PHP support, which was causing delays is my searches. This has been fixed thanks to my transfer to DreamHost. Overall though,it is added to our must have list of plug-ins.
