search list...

staura · 06-15-2004, 03:33 PM

hi, I was wondering if it's possible to get the search results in a list?

example:

If I spider a site containing a list of text/links:

text 1
text 2
text 3

When I search for "text" I get the results like this:

text 1 text 2 text 3

This is very confusing when the spidered page contains a long list, and it's hard to find what you where looking for..

Any suggestions?

Welcome to the forum, staura.

I don't know that it would be very easy to change phpdig so that it would display your list in tabular format, as it is displayed on your website. Maybe the best way to display search results would be to use the meta descriptions instead. That's what I do on my site, and that works well for me.

say I have a page with a list of links: www.domain.com/links1.html
the content of the page is like this:
link1
link2
link3
link4

After I have spidered the link site and search for "link" I get the results:

-----------------------------------------
www.domain.com/links1.html
-----------------------------------------
link1link2link3link4..... and so on...

is there a way to get the results back into order?

Thanks for all help.

Hi. The phpdigCleanHtml function would need to be modified to allow the list tags as PhpDig currently strips all tags.
