FDSE is a search engine that you install on your own site. Visitors to your site use it to find files on your site or on a small cluster of sites. The search box at the top of this page is an example of how FDSE is typically used. FDSE is different than Google or Altavista, which search the entire Internet. FDSE only searches the sites that you tell it to. It can handle about 10,000 documents in all, which is plenty for one site but much fewer than the total number of documents on the Internet. FDSE is a flat search engine - it accepts keywords and shows a ranked list of search results. It does not organize pages into browsable categories and subcategories like Yahoo does. |
