Starting Wizard

To simplify initial configuration process, mnoGoSearch for Windows has a Configuration Wizard. With the Wizard, you go through every step of mnoGoSearch configuration process simply by answering questions and entering necessary values. You may start the Wizard any time if you would like e.g. to index a new server or change your database. To start the Wizard, press Wizard button in the man Indexer menu:

Note

To make the Wizard button available in Pro version, you need to start Service first. Press the green Start button in main mnoGoSearch menu.

Select DSN

In order to use a DSN you have to create one first: go to Windows ODBC control panel and create a system DSN. Select DSN you wish to use for storing indexer data from the list of available data sources. Enter User name and Password to access DSN. Proceed by pressing the Next button.

Note

This option is not available in mnoGoSearch Lite.

Create tables

Indexer data is stored in tables in database. It is necessary to create tables first. Press Create tables button to create database tables. If you wish to reuse already existing tables, use this button to clear the tables. To test database tables structure, press Test tables in DSN button. If everything is OK, proceed by pressing the Next button.

Note

This option is not available in mnoGoSearch Lite.

Ispell data

Configure Ispell data storage mode here if you wish to use Ispell word normalization. You may specify whether ISpell data will be stored in files on disk or in database tables. Database storage may improve indexer performance. Select the language you wish to use and Ispell data files. Press Load tables button to upload data from your Ispell files to database tables of disk files. Click Next to proceed.

Server parameters

Now you have to enter the location of documents you wish to index and then search. There are two options available.

Second option - indexing and then searching documents on local system. Select 'I have disk resources to index'. Enter path to folder containing your documents or click Browse to find the folder.

It is also possible to index documents on a local network (LAN). To do so, enter the network path to the folder on a remote computer:

file://COMP_NAME/SHARED_FOLDER/...

Click Next to proceed.

Search template

It is necessary to specify in search template (search.htm) database address, character set to use and other options like database storage mode, etc. More on designing your search template please refer to Chapter 13., Template design.
