Top Previous Next |
| · | List of fields from hyperseek_links
|
| o | If you want to search additional fields you will need to enter the name of those additional fields. In addition to adding them here, you will also need to run a MYSQL statement
|
| § | alter table hyperseek_links drop index hs_ft; CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX hs_ft ON hyperseek_links(title,description,keywords, FIELDNAME);
|
| o | If this looks like Greek to you, don't do it. Ask for help.
|
| · | The next two sections "Boonlean Mode" and "Query Expansion" are only relevant if you are using MYSQL 4.1. For more information about these see:

| · | How would you like the Search Results Sorted
|
| o | If you are running a PPC Search Engine choose Score. If not, please consult the documentation.
|
| · | Turn Adult Filter on?
|
| o | Turning this "on" will force the search engine to parse the text of every link it finds, looking for "naughty" words (words contained in your badwords.txt file in your data directory). If any listings contain a word from this file, the user is warned, and given the option to continue without screening, or to continue and screen the results. Their choice is remembered by the system for the length of the current browser session.
|
| · | For Score Sorting …….
|
| o | These options allow you to determine the sort order of the various listings types.
|
| Hyperseek assigns a raw score to each search result (higher values for results with bid prices -- either from your own database or from XML).
|
| Use this setting to set the base score for your own paid listings. This number will be added to the Hyperseek generated score.
|
| If you want your own advertisers to show up first in the results no matter what, then set this base score about 1000 higher than any of the other settings.
|
| · | Ignore the following words in searches and indexing
|
| o | Enter every word you would like your software to "ignore" in searches. Words that you enter here will be ignored during searches, and will not be indexed at all by the search engine. We recommend starting with prepositions (of, in, on, for, to, at, by, ...) and adding from there any words that just don't make sense or would be displayed in every listing.
|
| · | Would you like to offer a qualifying (Refined) search option
|
| o | This toggle switch turns the system on and off.
|
| This system allows your visitors to pare down search results by additional, canned criteria (like state, country, etc.) You can define this list in the Applications section of your site under Qualifiers.
|
| · | Default Search Term
|
| o | In cases where your users run a search and the system can find no matches, if you have a search term or phrase in this option, your site will conduct a new search, using this word.
|
| You can set this to something generic for which you know that you have some results, or, if you are using HotZones for bidding, you can choose a hotzone that you create for the purpose of letting people bid on a search term that only shows when there are no other results. (This concept is explained in depth in the documentation)
