Introduction
-------------
MnoGoSearch for Windows is a search engine designed to organize search
within a website, number of websites, intranet or local system. To search
through documents you have to index them first using the indexer component
of mnoGoSearch. Indexer is a spider that reads the documents you specify and
stores information about words it finds in tables in a SQL database. You can
specify what kind (format) of documents to index, location of documents (a
website, a directory on server, single webpage, etc.). You can define the
level of importance (weight) of various document properties and parts that
are taken into account during searching.


Getting started
----------------
1. Installation

To install mnoGoSearch for Windows you will need computer with the following
configuration:
- Windows 9x/ME/NT SP4/2000 operating system
- i486 processor or higher
- 16 Mb RAM
- 5 Mb free HDD space for installation, more required for database

2. Create Database

Create database to store indexer information. 
Install ODBC drivers for your database.
Create tables in your database by pressing Create Indexer Tables button in Database Settings.


3. Indexing

To index your site you have to configure mnoGosearch with your database. To
do so go to Common tab of mnoGoSearch window, then press Edit in Database
group. In opened dialog select database type you wish to use, DSN you
created and Database mode (see Database modes section for details).
Configure server you wish to index by going to Server tab, press New Server
button and enter your server URL (e.g. http://www.mnogosearch.org/ ), don't
forget slash at the end.
To start indexing please go to Indexer tab, select Index in Action menu and
press Start button.
You can stop or pause indexing any moment you wish. After indexing is
complete press Statistics button to view number of indexed documents,
errors, etc.


4. Adding search to your site

mnoGoSearch is supplied with search page template - search.htm, that you
can customize according to your needs.
Edit search.htm by entering DBAddr parameters - the address of the database
where indexer information is stored as well as login and password you use to
access the database.
Example:

DBAddr MySQL://login:passwd@/search/

where "MySQL" is the type of database you use, "login" - your user name you
use to access database, "passwd" - you password to access database and
"search" - name of DSN you would like to use.

Place search.exe to cgi-bin directory of your server.
To perform search, open the search page at
http://www.yourserver.tld/cgi-bin/search.exe , enter words or phrase to
search for and press Search button. After that that front-end (search.exe)
will check database for words you entered and will display links to pages
containing the words.
