StarSearch creates a keyword search of your entire site along with, optionally, specified external web pages. The search is 100% client-side, meaning that it is very fast and there is no CGI setup required.

The StarSearch component consists of three separate components:

1) LinkForm: this Page View component is used to create the form on which the user enters his/her keywords. The LinkForm component can be found on the "coolmaps.com extras" toolbar.

2) StarSearch: this is another Page View component. It is placed on the web page where the results of the search are to be displayed. This component defines the area where the results are to be shown, and formats the output.

3) Search & Tag: this is a Publish component. It requires no configuration. Search & Tag is activated by selecting it in the Publish Setup dialog. This component reads the specified web pages and extracts keywords which are used to build a searchable index.

All three of these components are explained on the following pages.
