Step 2 :: Modify /Web.EasySearch.Config

One of the main files included in EasySearchASP is Web.EasySearch.Config. This should live right next to the web.config file in the root of your application

This is the main configuration file for EasySearchASP.

The first two nodes are

<add key="EasySearch_SiteMapWebUrl" value="http://www.Example.com" />
<add key="EasySearch_SearchDomain" value="http://www.Example.com" />

These need to be modified with your domain information. They initially look like they're the same setting repeated, but in fact they are different. The first entry is the first page EasySearchASP requests to start building your EasySearchASP catalog. The second entry defined the domain boundaries of URL's to follow. If your whole site is on a single domain, then these two entries are identical. If your website, spans domains, then you can add comma separated values to either of these entries. another example follows.

<add key="EasySearch_SiteMapWebUrl" value="http://www.Example.com" />
<add key="EasySearch_SearchDomain" value="http://www.Example.com,http://help.Example.com" />

This would tell EasySearchASP to get the home page at Example.com and then follow all links that go to Example.com or help.Example.com

After you save this file, you should be ready to start searching your site.

Simply point your browser to YourWebSite/EasySearchASP/Sample1.aspx.

This page should show you a text box, and a search link button. After typing in a search term, and clicking the search link button, you've started the EasySearch Engine. Results will continue to grow as more pages are indexed. The amount of pages indexed, and the time between indexing pages, are also configurable.

Now all that's left to do is make the results match the rest of your site.
