Search Engine

The Search button, found on the main NetWinder page, allows you to search for keywords through all of the web pages on the NetWinder. The search database updates itself every morning at 4:00 a.m.

As with several other NetWinder services, the search engine feature is part of the Web Server, and so it cannot be disabled. However, it provides several configuration options.

If you click the word Configure next to Search Engine, you will see the following page:

The options are as follows:

NOTE: It is considered impolite to index other people's web servers using your NetWinder, unless you have explicit permission. There are plenty of Internet search engines available already; you should use those instead. Indexing web sites also uses a large chunk of your Internet connection and should be avoided unless absolutely necessary.

If you do decide to index someone else's server, be certain to fill in the Maintainer field on this page so that the server's owner can contact you in case of problems.

When finished making changes, click the Save button to continue.
