Categories
Syntax: textual name and URL pattern pairs, additional input boxes will appear as you use up the ones provided
Webinator
can create searchable sub-categories that will appear in a drop down
box on the Search page. Enter the name of the category on the left, and
its corresponding URL pattern on the right. URL patterns may contain
asterisk(*) to indicate ``anything'' and question mark(?) to
indicate any single character. There may be more than one pattern for each
category. Separate multiple patterns with space.
| Category | URL Pattern |
| Demonstrations | http://SERVER/demos/* |
| Manuals | http://SERVER/manual/* |
| Books | http://SERVER/a1/* http://SERVER/b3/* |
Table 4.2: Example Categories
This example would create a category named ``Demonstrations'' which would
only search the URL ``http://www.mysite.com/demos/'' and any files under
this directory, thereby creating a more concise match to the users
search. The same is true for ``Manuals''. The ``Books'' category would
include pages from both the ``earnmoney'' and ``printmoney'' directories.
The user would now have the option to search within just these
categories or the entire database. The pattern should NOT be a single
page unless you want a category with a single page in it (e.g.
http://www.mysite.com/manual/index.html would be incorrect). It should
typically be a prefix for a directory that has multiple pages within it
followed by an asterisk (*).
