Add a search engine to your website in a few clicks

seotoaster uses the renowned "Zend Search" built on the well respected Lucene search engine. You can easily add a powerful search engine to your website using the  content editor's "Widgets Maker". 

1) Create a "Search Results" page (Tutorial here). This is the page where all search results will appear.

2) Use a "templates directly.

3) Use the Widget Maker to get the appropriate code for the "Search form" and result display.

 

Code sample for the search:


{%search_form:105}

==== CODE TO INSERT IN 'Search Results' page ONLY(remove from here) ====
{%search_result} OR {%search_result_img} if you want the results to display page images.

Explanation:

{%search_form:105} 
--> Will make the search form appear, and specifies the search result page location. In this case Page ID:105 .


{%search_result} 
--> Code to cut and paste on your search result page (You specify a search result page when using the widget maker) . Will display a list of pages, with their titles linked to the said pages, along with a text snippet.


{%search_result_mg}
