This project is side-effect of WebPac indexer -- I learned so much about |
| 2 |
perl and swish-e during working on WebPac so I decided to make smaller |
| 3 |
cgi interface to swish for general purpose web crawling and searching. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
For this to work, you will have to create symlink from swish.cgi to |
| 7 |
each configuration like this: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
cd html |
| 10 |
ln -s swish.cgi rot13.cgi |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Then, rot13.cgi will use rot13.xml file as configuration. |

| 15 |
This perl cgi font-end has following interesting features: |
| 16 |
1. old (easy to understand :-) swish spider modified to support "no parent" |
| 17 |
URL (url above which it will stop spidering -- useful if you want to |
| 18 |
spider just your personal pages under some URL) |
| 19 |
2. separate xml configuration file for one index (all uses same cgi script) |
| 20 |
3. no need to design html pages (but, that limits you to one rather ugly |
| 21 |
design with some fill-in words -- someone could change that to use |
| 22 |
templates as I will probably in future) |
| 23 |
4. support for searching using Lingua::Spelling::Alternative module which |
| 24 |
uses ispell affix or findaffix data to create variations of entered words |
| 25 |
5. support for converting swish UTF-8 output to some other encoding on web |
| 26 |
using iconv. |
