What to do after indexing

Top  Previous  Next

Once you have indexed your website, you will need to upload or copy the files created by the Indexer to your web-server or CD-ROM/DVD distribution.

Note: If you have selected a server-side platform (such as PHP, ASP, ASP.NET or CGI), your search files will not work until they are uploaded to a server with the appropriate scripting or application support. For example, you cannot test the PHP search page on your offline desktop computer (it will show up as script code). You need to upload or copy the files to a web server with PHP support to allow it to execute. A client-side platform (e.g. JavaScript) however, can be tested/executed on your local computer without needing to be uploaded to a web server.

The list of files required are given in the window that pops up after indexing (shown below).

These files are created in the Output directory you specified. Note that the list includes all the files you will need on your website for your search engine to run.

Here you can select from two options to continue with, by default, Zoom can upload the files to your website. If this option is selected, Zoom will open the FTP upload window when you click OK, and prompt you for FTP information.

If you would like to upload the files yourself (or you do not need to upload the files because you are indexing a site for a CD/DVD distribution or an Intranet, etc.), select “Do not upload the files” and click OK.
