Site search

uCoz Web Service has its own Site search.

You do not have to install this module. It is installed by default and it is a required module.
Attention: it is impossible to deinstall the Site Search module!

Though it is possible to set it up or not to use it at all.

You can select the modules to search in:


We would like to draw your attention to the setting

Supplement search results by tags with the results of site search:
If the checkbox is tagged, the site search results will be shown after the search results by tags.
Here is how the site search results will look for the request: CINEMA

And this is the way the search results by the tag CINEMA will look (You will see them in addition with site search results).

Where the first result is the search result by the tag CINEMA. And the rest of he results are site search results for the request CINEMA.
(This is an example with the default settings of Appearance of entries. "Entry brief description" in the modules is also disabled)


It is not difficult to distinguish the search results by the tag from the site search results. The appearance of the site search entries is the following: module name + the date (day-month-year the time of adding the entry).

The appearance of the search entries by the tag is the following: module name + the title of the module category (nesting depth of an entry. The code $ENTRY_DEPTH$ is responsible for that)+the date when the entry was added (day.month.year).

It is also possible to distinguish the search results by the tag from the site search results with a help of the URL of the request:

The appearance of the request URL of the site search results is the following: http://siteaddress/search/?q=
The appearance of the request URL of the search results by the tag is the following: http://siteaddress/search/

If the checkbox “Supplement search results by tags with the results of site search:” is not tagged:
the search by tag will show the results for the request of this tag only. And the site search will show the results on the search requests only.

Site search module has design customization feature.

Search page – will help you to customize the design of the page with the results of the site search and the search by tags.
Appearance of entries – will help you to customize the appearance of search results entries.

Sitemap

Sitemap is generated automatically on each website now. Users do not have to create it any more. Sitemap files are updated automatically, approximately once a day (depends on how often the website is updated). URLs of Sitemap files are written in the default robots.txt file, which we advise not to change.
You can get URLs of the Sitemap in Control panel->Site search
Note on search forms: each site module has codes $SEARCH_FORM$ and $MODULE_SEARCH_FORM$
It means that either the form for the indexed search on the whole website ($SEARCH_FORM$) or form to search entries of a module ($MODULE_SEARCH_FORM$) can be embedded into the template of the modules. Of course, both forms can be used simultaneously in order to search on the whole website or to search entries of a certain module.

Addition: on the websites with uID login, uNet users' bar has a site search form: Userbar->Control->Site search

Note:
  • The new entries are indexed within 10 days.
  • The entries that are deleted from the website, disappear from the search results within 14 days
  • In order to re-index the entries in the catalog manually, you need to tag the checkbox “Entry date:“ and Save without making any other changes.

I'm having some difficulties with the search.

First: The system searches for items in Tent Online.
I do not know how to enable it. Does anyone know?

Second: How do I change the system options advanced search.
I wanted to put options such as books, Author, Clothes, CDs, DVDs ..

Thanks

it normally should be enabled by itself as far as i know , but for the first question you need to wait fo an admin

well you actually can't do this with an option in uCoz , but you can do that with using some advanced scripts and coding , i suggest you search google to find a way to that

you can also suggest this in here:

You need to wait. It means that your website hasn't been indexed by robots. (or the new entries were added after the indexation) It will be possible to find entries with the help of "Search" after the next indexation. The indexation is performed once in 4 days.

AlexXL, this can be the problem please be patient enough to wait and then if it is still not working reply back here smile

good luck happy

I'm having a problem. I've had my site for a few months now, and the search isn't working correctly.

For some reason, it won't search for tags. This is really hinder-some, considering that fact that I really want to utilize the photo album module, but the search won't find the tags.

I think I've found what's going wrong. When I search for something I get a url like the following:

http://thescav.com/search/?q=hinata&m=site&m=news&m=publ&m=load&m=photo&t=0

But if I change that last number from a 0 to a 1 it works perfectly. And if I go into a picture and click on one of it's tags it brings me to a search page with a url like the following as well:

http://thescav.com/search/?q=hinata&m=site&m=news&m=publ&m=load&m=photo&t=1

I'm assuming that "t" is for tags. I have the tag thing turned on in my search module, so I'm confused as to why it won't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

EDIT:

Similarly, if I go to: http://thescav.com/?q=hinata it doesn't work.

But the following url works: http://thescav.com/hinata

(the site search directs me to the first of these two urls)

TacoClone, when adding new entries you need to fill in the field "Tags (separated by comma):" and indicate tags, keywords for this entry. In this way Search will be able to find the entries via the indicated tags.

I've done this. All of my images have tags. It's something wrong with the search. Unless there's two different tag fields, I don't know why this isn't working..

TacoClone, have a look at the previous post. Search does not display images Only the description of the image.
