hi forum,
i read a thread about this back in 2011 or 12 (?), but maybe somethings changed …
is there a way to include WebYep Elements (Rich-, Short- and Longtext) in Freeways Site Search or could this be done with other resources/possibilities?
thanks in advance

is there a way to include WebYep Elements (Rich-, Short- and Longtext) in Freeways Site Search …
Hi Ray,
the simple answer is noop.
The problem is, that Freeway’s Simple Amazing Site Search is “collecting” all the keywords during the publishing process, while the WebYep content is (already) hosted in some extra files on your server.
It’ll mean, that a searchable WebYep page requires another way of collecting the words in order to make them searchable.
I once did this by an external php script found on codecanyon called PHP Search Engine:
http://codecanyon.net/item/php-search-engine/89499
I honestly can’t remember the implementing in its details but I am under the impression as a doable but tricky process.
But other ways are of course as well thinkable (SQL based e.g.).
Cheers

Many CMSen that feature search also use a traditional RDBMS like MySQL to hold the content, because then it is simple to provide a search interface using that database’s query interface. Because WebYep holds all of your data in plain text files, you would need to use a search system that used an external “crawler” interface to read all of that data, index it, and return links to individual pages based on keyword searches. Atomz springs to mind, if you want a hosted service. There used to be a way to roll a custom (site-specific) Google search and provide it as a widget on your page, not sure if that’s still a thing, given Google’s recent crackdown on useful tools in favor of chasing social media unicorns.

This is one I have used in the past but even though it is long in the tooth it continues to work fine.

Sorry - totally unsure what this means.

As well here, what kind of tips? A running example? Or other php search engines?
The Atomz approach sounds alluring, should have a go with it as well.
Maybe a personal add (more on the philosophical level):
A PHP based CMS should be mainly flavored by PHP based extensions while an anyway SQL driven one can use both (SQL and PHP) however I don’t mind that much about mixing both.

Hi Ray
The code canyon search script has the advantage in that it does not need a database to run eg its a flat file system which can be stet to update at regular intervals or be made to update on request
I have used it with WebYep content and it has worked perfectly. I do have plans on writing a tutorial on this but I just haven’t had time to do yet but if you do think it’s a system you would like to use then let me know and I can always help out.
Kind regards max

hi tom,
in fact that the domain of your website ends with .de i thought you’re german 
i meant, in fact you have used this script with freeway, that it would be fine if you can give me some tips or hints how to handle it (bought it yesterday from codecanyon).

I’ve had a look at the codecanyon search script as I have a site using YebYep items on several pages. As it is a travel agency I would like the user to have a lot more success with searching for words in the regularly updated holiday offers that I can’t have with the inbuilt freeway site search.
Trouble is the online test for the codecanyon script only returns the one result whatever I type as: “Example PHP callback result”. It seems to work on other sites I test but not one one I need! I see someone else had the same problem - I have posted a request for help but the guy appears not to be answering posts lately.
Can anyone nudge me along?
Thanks
