I read a 2005 post in the CGI thread that this feature is not working... it appears that 1 year later it is still not working because I don't see any banners on the page (yes its the right page extension).

So am I correct in assuming that the "Pre Installed Scripts" for our hosting package means "Pre Installed Scripts that Don't Work and we will not fix them" ...

Hi Spooky Dude

I created a test entropy search page at:

http://www.vancouverhalloween.com/test1.html

and did some searches such as "halloween" and the results came out for many pages.

I copied this default code to that page:

<form action="/cgi-sys/entropysearch.cgi" target=searchwindow>
Search Query <input type="text" name="query" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="user" value="mrspooky">
<input type="hidden" name="basehref" value="http://vancouverhalloween.com">
<input type="hidden" name="template" value="default">
<input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>

The most important thing is to click:

Rebuild Search Index

You must click the above link if you create new pages. It's like a real search engine like Google but more simplistic.

However, you can harness the power of Google for your website too.

Check out:

http://www.google.com/searchcode.html

The only disadvantage is that it'll index your site every couple of days.
There's no Index Now button like in Entropy.

The other is Fantastico and that is maintained by a third party developer based in Greece. It contains more scripts and are rigorously tested before they are released. It's available on Starter and Power plans.
