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

  1. Dear Pemba,

    I am not sure which THING this is for. Under Whats New with Search Engines you are to create a dashboard that includes your other applications. Have you done that.
