A powerful stack for creating a website search, based on your sitemap and webpage meta data. Developed exclusively for RapidWeaver.
Will WoodgateFormally the RapidSearch Live stack. Now rebranded to Indexer and offered on the Stacks4Stacks website.
Start by dragging and dropping the Indexer stack into your website and publish your new search page. Press and hold the search bar for 3 seconds to open the Admin Console. Click the button to begin an index of your website. During this period, Indexer goes to your sitemap.xml file and visits each of the webpages listed in your sitemap. From your webpages, Indexer 'spiders' the page link, page title, meta data and open graph meta tags. With this information, Indexer generates its own XML database to store all the search results within. After returning back to your search page, all this harvested data forms the basis for your website search.
End users to your website see an attractive search form. After entering their keywords, search results are instantly returned 'live' without a reload of the page. Through use of OG (Open Graph) meta images, you can enrich your search results with icons or pictures.
Key Features:
Indexer is a stack element, and therefore requires the Yourhead Software 'Stacks' plugin. This stack can only be added to a 'Stacks' page type within RapidWeaver. Stacks v4.0 or above is required.
Please download and try the free demo version of Indexer.
