Tabs

Documents tab

In this tab you can specify which documents to index and which to ignore.

Please note that the higher a rule is in the list the more priority it is given.

Press Append button to add a new rule, i.e. assign additional file types to be indexed.

In Source definition window select command type: Disallow to exclude certain file types from indexing, Allow to include certain file types.

Use Check only to specify the file to be checked only for existence and not to be downloaded. Useful for zip, exe, arj and other binary files.

Use Href only to scan a HTML page for "href" tags but not to index the contents of the page with an URLs that match (don't match) given argument. When indexing large mail list archives for example, the index and thread index pages (like mail.10.html, thread.21.html, etc.) should be scanned for links but shouldn't be indexed:

Use Characters Case to select case insensitive or case sensitive comparison.

Specify whether document are to Match or do Not Match given arguments.

In expression type use Regex to choose regular expression comparison and String to choose string with wildcards comparison. Wildcards are '*' for any number of characters and '?' for one character. Note that '?' and '*' have special meaning in "String" match type. Please use "Regex" to describe documents with '?' and '*' signs in URL.

"String" match is much faster than "Regex". Use "String" where it is possible.

In Command string enter masks for files you wish to Allow/Disallow.

In case you wish to insert a command before the selected item and not on the top of the list, use Insert button instead of Append. Press Edit to edit selected command, Delete to delete it and Clear to delete all the entries from the list. With Up and Down arrow move the selected item up and down the list. You can always revert to default list by pressing the Default list button.

Note

mnoGoSearch automatically adds one Allow regex .* command after reading config file. It means that allowed everything that is not disallowed.

MIME types tab

This command associates filename extensions (for services that don't automatically include them) with their mime types.

Use optional first two parameters to choose comparison type. You may use '?' and '*' wildcards for one and several characters correspondingly.

You may also use quotes in mime type definition for example to specify charset. e.g. Russian webmasters often use *.htm extension for windows-1251 documents and *.html for unix koi8-r documents: "text/html; charset=koi8-r" for *.html and "text/html; charset=windows-1251" for *.htm.

Default unknown type for other extensions: application/unknown *.*

ISpell tab

With this tab you can specify files containing dictionaries or affixes to be used when mnoGoSearch is run with ISpell support.

To add a file press Append button. In Ispell parameter window select the type of file you wish to add (Spell for spelling dictionary, or Affix for affix table. Select language and file itself.

Parsers tab

mnoGoSearch for Windows can use external parsers to index various file types.

Parser is any executable program which converts one of the mime types to text/plain or text/html. For example, if you have postscript files, you can use 'ps2ascii.exe', which reads a postscript file and produces a text file.

mnoGoSearch Indexer supports the type of parsers which can read data from a file and send result to a file

To add a new parser to the list, press the Append button and enter Source type, e.g. application/pdf for Adobe's Portable Document Format, then select destination format with the Result type menu. In Command box enter command line to use with the parser, e.g. pdftotext.exe $1 $2. Press OK button to finish.

Start URL's tab

With this tab you can configure the starting page of the server you wish to index. It is useful if the main page of it (e.g. index.html) does not contain enough links and there is another page on the server with most of the links, for example main.html. Press append button and enter URL of the stating page.

Search tab

Here you can perform a test search. Simply enter keywords in the Search for field and press Go. You may select number of results to display on one page, Output format, Search mode (Match and What search for). The results are displayed in the window below.

To limit search by Tag or Category, enter restrictions into corresponding fields.

You may select different front-end to use in searching. To do so, select the desired front-end in Path to search.exe field.

It is possible to use several templates to display search results. In case multiple templates are used, every one of them is assigned an ID number. Press Templates button to add templates and assign unique ID number to each template.

Select ID of template to display search results with the Templatedrop-down menu.

If you use several templates, you may specify one of them to use with search.exe. Place the following code to where you would like the search form to be displayed:

In the string

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="ntmpl" VALUE="1">

NAME is the name of the template and VALUE is its number. Insert the same string in the template you want to use with search.exe.
