Implementation of KSearch into your website

Configure KSearch
You do not have to edit the standard configuration of KSearch to be able to use it. Starting from the root directory, every directory (except cgi-bin and stats) will be inserted into the search index. The following file extensions are scanned by default: .html, .htm and .shtml.


Indexing the website
Before you can use KSearch you have to index your website with the "Indexer". The search engine will scan and analyse the listed directories and files. You can start the Indexer by entering this address in your Internet browser: yourdomain.tld/ksearch/indexer.cgi(yourdomain.tld has to be replaced with your real domain, ksearch has to be replaced with the installation path of KSearch.).

View KSearch
In a browser, enter the address of your domain and the installation path of KSearch followed by /ksearch.cgi e.g. yourdomain.tld/ksearch/ksearch.cgi
(yourdomain.tld has to be replaced with your real domain, ksearch has to be replaced with the installation path of KSearch.).


Integrate KSearch search engine
With the following URL you can integrate a link to the search engine: yourdomain.tld/ksearch/ksearch.cgi (again, yourdomain.tld has to be replaced with your real domain, ksearch has to be replaced with the installation path of KSearch.). To change the appearance of the search engine, you can use a form for your website which will hand over the search term to the search engine accordingly.


Example of how to implement KSearch into an existing website:
