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.

First of all the support for this free website/hosting service is unreal. Thank You for the unbelievable patience and support I'm seeing!

I am looking to completely remove the Search Site Module (and Site Friends) from all of my website pages. When I click on Search Site in the CP it does not show a deactivate or uninstall option so I assume the module is already deactivated and the search site module that I am seeing is the default that I can not remove? I have went into Page Editor>Module design customization>Search page and tried to delete all but the required code there but no luck. My url is http://www.thesecrettruth.ucoz.com if anyone can help

I have looked through every page of the Search Sticky here and only seen one reference to my question that did not completely answer my question so hopefully I didn't miss it and hopefully this is the correct place to post my question. If I did miss something or posted in the wrong area I apologize. This is my first website I have ever built and still very green behind the ears to all of this.

Thanks again for the support and these extensive help forums.

sachtructuyen, you have the website Site Search. We have checked - it works just fine.
Provide the name of the entry you search for in vain.

I attach some image, you can see. Anyway, my site search is better. ( at first, it really found nothing). Now it can search with 70% of accuracy. By the way, site search allows only 20 character. Is there any way to expand it?

Anyway, i want to say that ucoz.com is the best free web service i ever know. Thank you all.

My special thank to Natashko for your help!
