You can use MCIT's Ultraseek search engine to provide visitors to your site the ability to search it, provided that all your files are contained under one directory. (The files don't have to all be in one directory, but any separate directories must be under or within the "top" one.)

Only files that are linked to by other published files should be found as a result of a search. However, you may want to take extra precautions to be sure that "in progress" or "testing" files are not found when someone uses our search engine to search the UMHS site. (Important: these precautions only have an effect on our UMHS search engine. Other search engines on the web may still be able to find pages you "protect" using these measures, so be aware of this when determining what kind of content you put on these pages.) See Naming your Files and Folders for more details.

Search through the files in your external (available to the public) website

To allow visitors to search your publicly available site (that is, those files not in an internal "/i/" directory), copy and paste this code into your page, replacing the title and URL with your site's title and URL. (Note that you are indicating here what directory should be searched, so the URL should end with "/", not a filename such as index.htm.)

Search through the files in your internal (not available to the public) website

To allow visitors to search your internal site (files in an internal "/i/" directory), copy and paste this code into your page, replacing the title and URL with your site's title and URL. (Note that you are indicating here what directory should be searched, so the URL should end with "/", not a filename such as index.htm.)
