Freefind search engine - Brass Band Portal
Posted: Mon Mar 03, 2003 12:58 pm
As you may have noted I have been steadily replacing the freefind search engine on the Portal with an new engine, the freefind one didn't spider all pages and has adverts.
I know that many of you who run your band's website link into the search engine provided by the Portal to give you a search facility on your own website. I have listed below the new HTML code should you wish to consider upgrading. The old freefind service will still work, subject to the above issues, since I have no plans to stop it. The choice is yours.
I have tried to e-mail webmasters directly that use this, but you'd be amazed at the number of "contact us" links on band's websites that don't work (sigh).
Comments (positive and negative) are welcome. If any Perl developer/language translator wants to help improve the code feel free to contact me since I'll hapilly make the source code available.
