What's New With Search Engines

·  A possibility to display search results on the same page (through Ajax). Here you simply paste the generated search box code onto your web page. Once you run a search, the results will be put into an element of your choice or presented in the dynamic layer displayed over the whole page without reloading the page.

·     Search hints box shown when a user types a query text. The box shows queries that are most frequently entered by users and that match the currently typed phrase. Note that this feature requires PHP5 and SQLite3 support.

·    Secure SFTP/FTPS file upload. The SSH (SFTP) and SSL/TLS (FTPS) protocols are supported.

·       A new option that allows running an authentication script before indexing starts. This allows you to index password protected areas of your online web site.

·        Date filters work in PHP and Java output types.

·         Minor bug fixes in search scripts.

    possibility to choose which parts of a document will be indexed and allow the end-user to search by them (e.g. to search in the whole document or only in a title, content or a custom meta-tag)

·          PDF DOC indexing: PDF and DOC documents are now listed by their title instead of file name. For DOC documents, the additional information (author, keywords etc.) is also indexed and

• displaying each meta tag separately in a document's preview in the search results
• new options and condition that allows better customizations of a result preview
• improved preview speed
• 'changed-only' indexing mode that allows re-indexing only those documents that have been modified since last indexing (especially useful when just a small part of documents has changed)
• simplified usage of a result page template

DOCUMENT SHARING

Google Docs is google's online office suite application
It allows one to read and write documents , spreadsheets presentations .Google docs' word processing features all the basic featureone would expect from a word processor , including the ability to bold , italicize and underline texts , creat lists , insert tables , even a spell check facility that supports over 30 diffent languages which is considerably more generous than microsft who have extra dictionaries available , but only for purchase .
Google Docs sports Google's familiar spartan , yet functional , design . You will not find any graphical bells and whistles here just the basics that you need to make everything work !
Document version control allows multiple users to collaborate on a single document and track the changes simply and effectvely . Documents shared on the Share Point Server are easilly accessible through your web browser from inside or outside the office
Having said that, there are several problems of Google Docs, one being the inability to work offline. In order to work on documents an internet connection is necessary. The features are also basic and simple, which more tech savvy users may dislike. Other programs have more advanced features that allow the user to fully customize their ducuments and spreadsheets. Furtheremore, it is only supported by Internet Explorer version 6 or never, Firefox version 1.07 or never( not including Firefox 3), and Safari 3.1 oe never. No other servers support Google Docs. Also, images with dimensions greater than 2000 pixels can not be uploaded.

RSS

Feeds for my readers :
Language .
Peoples.
Library.

RSS feeds provide an easy, almost automated way to update your site's content.

It allows viewers the opportunity to decide what they want to read without forcing them to go anywhere, which they're likely to appreciate.

It allows both human readers and search engine spiders to find content based on keywords without compromising the quality for either one.

 It's an excellent way to market any type of website, but especially blogs since these tend to be updated much more frequently and consequently have more subscribers.

It's a great method for keeping people informed during a collaborative effort.

I can use RSS for this technology to simplify the work of publishing frequently updated works such as news ,blog entries , comments ...
