To add search to your OpenEdit site you can run the installer from the update scripts: /openedit/update/index.html Once the update is complete you should have a /search and /base/search directory.

Crawling Your Web Site Links

Edit the /search/search.xml file

<search>
        <starturl>http://www.openedit.org/index.html</starturl>
        <allow>http://www.openedit.org/</allow>
        <allow>http://openedit.org/</allow>
 </search>

Scheduling the Crawler

The index tool must be setup to run on a timer. Edit or create a file called /WEB-INF/scheduler.xml :

<configuration>
        <action period="24h" startdelay="10m" path="/search/admin/crawl.html" />
</configuration>

You can also force a reindex by going to this path as the administrator: /search/admin/crawl.html

Searching Your Site

The search is triggered from this link /search/query.html that contains a simple query form on it that you can put any place on you web site.

We recommend adding this to your layout files: $pages.include("/search/query.html")

The results page can be customized by copying the /base/search/results.html to the /search/ directory and editing.
