Tod's Shutterbug Tricks

This page is under construction.  I've managed to get the

Search function to search elsewhere on my own website but

not within the "sbtips" folder on my site.  Interestingly, the

Search doesn't return anything from any of the subfolders

on my site that were created using Shutterbug.

The Search script can be forced to search just one folder

within a site or the entire site, or even a folder within

another site (e.g. www.cnn.com/tech/ )so I have

experimented with  it to try to allow searches within the

Tips folder.  Unfortunately there seems to be a stumbling

block.  I don't understand it myself as the HTML output by

Shutterbug can be searched as easily as that output by

other programs; there is nothing intrinsically hidden as far

as page text is concerned.

Perhaps Shutterbug's developer Hagen Kaye can delve into

this a bit.

You can experiment with this, though  and enter such

search words as:

George

Vleck

Evans

Kirby

Johnson

ecphorizer (returns multiple hits)

This tool requires you to sign up for a free Google API key

number, which you must enter into the main php file. 

Installation is easy as pie.  It requires you to do a little

editing within the "search.php" file, add a little HTML in

an Xtra box, and you're on your way - almost.

Incidentally, you'll need to change the .html on your page

name to .php.   Do this by going to the Content tab, select

Website at the top left, find the proper page in the Page

Settings pane, and simply change the suffix.
