List/Edit URLs

From here you may list or delete all or selected URLs from the database. (You should always list before you delete so that you know that you are deleting the correct ones.) While listing URLs you may display all known information about a given page. You may also create categories for selected sets of URLs from this interface.

If a walk is in progress delete will be disabled and you will be given the choice of listing URLs from the live search database or the new database being built by the walk.

Select List or Delete from the drop down list. The default is always List for safety.

Enter the URL or pattern for URLs that you want information about in the pattern box. This may be an exact URL or a wildcarded pattern to list all URLs matching the pattern. Use asterisk (*) to match anything and question mark (?) to match any single character. You may enter up to 10 different URLs or patterns in the box to find them all at once. Put a space between patterns when entering multiples. Leaving the pattern box blank implies * and will cause every URL in the database to be listed. Deletion will be denied if the pattern is blank or *.

Select the order in which you wish to see the list:

Depth	URLs encountered first in the walk will be listed first
URL	URLs are ordered alphabetically
Newest first	URLs are ordered by modification date with newest ones first
Oldest first	URLs are ordered by modification date with oldest ones first
Largest first	URLs are ordered by download size with largest ones first
Smallest first	URLs are ordered by download size with smallest ones first

Then Submit.

All matching URLs will be listed. Clicking on a listed URL will take you to a page of details about that URL. On that detail page you will see everything the database knows about that URL. You will also be able to see what pages refer to the selected page by clicking on Parents and what pages the selected page refers to by clicking on Children.

If your pattern matches less than the entire database you will be given a form from which you can create a category using the same pattern(s). Simply enter the name of the category to create and hit Submit. The name is the name that users will see on the search form. This new category will also appear on the main settings page along with the other categories. It will also be immediately available to search users.
