This allows the web master to set the help text with words in the preferred language. The value is free text. The user is presented with this text whenever the "?" button, near the keyword text entry is clicked on the Applet.

In English, the text should read "Enter the keywords to search for separated by a space. <br><br>Select the 'or' button to find any keyword or select the 'and' button to find all keywords." Note: HTML tags can be used as the text is presented in a pop up browser window. This adds flexibility in the event that alternate formatting is required.

The Applet will only search files on the same host as the Applet. It will not call other sites or search engines.

The specified files will be searched for the keywords entered by the user. No other file will be searched unless the "Spider" parameter is set to value "true". Each file must be separated by a semicolon ";" and have no gaps between file names.

This parameter is the text character(s) placed next to the "AND" button on the Applet. When selected, the search will look for all keywords in each file scanned. i.e. It will search for keyword1 AND keyword2 AND keyword3….. etc..

The value of this parameter is free text.

This parameter is used to provide a text description on the Browser's status bar (if one exists) informing the user that selecting the "?" button on the search report will provide additional information about Client Search search engine.

The value of this parameter is free text.

When the search has completed and the search report is presented to the user, it provides the description text as one of the summarising details of the file along with its title, hyperlink and rank (based on the number of times the keyword was found). If the file scanned had no description, this parameter's value is used instead.

The description is meta data within the HTML document. The following example shows how meta data is defined within the HEAD tags of the HTML document:

<meta name="description" content="This is the text I want to appear in the search report.">

If the file scanned had no title, this parameter's value is used instead.

The title is defined in the HEAD tag of the HTML document. The following provides an example of title definition;

<title>My Big Website</title>

If the file scanned had no title, this parameter's value is used instead.

This parameter is the text character(s) placed next to the "OR" button on the Applet. When selected, the search will look for any of the keywords in each file scanned. i.e. It will search for keyword1 OR keyword2 OR keyword3….. etc..

This optional parameter allows the specification of an image file (e.g. jpg) to be displayed on the search report as a background.

All specified impage must be on the host site and is specified relative to the HTML BASE element defined in the web page that called the Applet. I.e. the following have valid values;

"./mysite/myimage.jpg"

" myimage.jpg "

"../cages/birds.jpg"

This parameter sets the name of the HTML frame where the search report should be directed. If the frame name doesn't exist, the report will be placed in a window of the same name.

Frames are named in HTML using the "frame" tag. The following is an example;

<frame src="" name="Rpt">

Here src specifies the source as "", meaning null. This allows the frame to be created with no content. Once created, the Client Search Applet will populate the frame instead of the Browser retrieving its content from another HTML source. The name "Rpt" is used here to give the frame a name. The name is used by the Client Search Applet to direct its search report frame. You can use any name and so long as the name of the frame is the same as this Client Search parameter.

The value of this parameter is free text.

This parameter is used to instruct the Client Search Applet to spider to the site. When set to "true" the Applet will scan the initial files for the specified keywords and also extract out hyperlinks to pages on same site to follow. When the hyperlinks are followed, the files are again scanned and further hyperlinks on the same site are followed and so on until all files are scanned.

This provides a powerful facility to check entire web sites by specifying only one initial file.

Tip: The spider works by traversing the HTML links (i.e. href and src tags). If your site uses some other mechanism such as JavaScript to link pages, the spider will not be able to traverse your site. To enable the spidering to work, create a file with a link to each of your web pages. This file could then be specified in the "PagesToSearch" parameter as the initial file. Client Search will then be able to find each of your web site's files.

The value of this parameter is either "true" or "false".

This parameter is used in the Warning report to encourage users who do invoke a error condition to report it to the web master by providing a mailto link.

The value of this parameter is an Internet e-mail address.
