How to set up a WebSearch Results page

• Choose View > Toolbars > Component Toolbars > coolmaps.com components.

(Notice that there is a second coolmaps components toolbar called 'extras' - we will use that in step 3)

Select the Search component and drag out the area on the page that you wish the results to occupy.

The width of the component will determine the width of the results and where the search will wrap its contents. The component height does not really matter because the actual height will depend upon the number of matches for the query.

Make sure there is plenty of room below the component for a long list of results.

Configure the palette -

Initially the Properties palette asks you to select which component you would like to configure. If MetaTagger, SiteSearch and WebSearch are installed the palette looks as below:

Select the WebSearch option to reveal the WebSearch Properties:

The following options are available in the component properties table:

• WebSearch Type (File/Palette) - you can choose to specify the external links you would like included in your search by either pointing to a text file with each URL on a new line - NO commas, as below, or by entering the URL's directly into the Palette.
  

• Description (Yes/No) - determines whether or not the search results will be displayed with a description field. The description will be the value of the Meta Description tag, or if there is no Meta Description tag it will be the first 40 text characters in the file.
• Num of Chars Description - specify how many characters will be shown for the description results.
• Description Text - specify header text for the Description.
• Keywords (Yes/No)- This is where you specify whether or not you want all the search keywords to be shown on the results page.
• Keywords Description - specify the header text for the keywords
• Num of Chars Keywords - specify how many characters will be shown for the keyword results.
• Keyword Text - specify header text for the Keywords.
• URL (Yes/No) - The listing of a page will always provide the user with a link to the actual page. This option allows you to display the link url to the end user
• Link URL - (only available when the URL option is set to yes) This allows you to specify whether or not displayed result URLs will be hyperlinked or not.
• Found Text Style (No/Bold/Italic/Strong/Emphasis)- Set the appearance of the keyword as it is found in the title, description, and/or keywords.
• Found Text Color - Enter a hexidecimal number to set the color of the keyword as it is found in the title, description, and/or keywords.
• Not Found - specify the page which is shown when the search yields no results.
