Simple Search FAQ

Configure search directories by editing these variables:

$basedir = "/home/user/public_html/";
$baseurl = "http://yourdomain.com/";

@files = ("*.html", "*.htm", "*.shtml");
@exclude = ("admin", "private");

Variable explanations:

• $basedir: Full server path to search
• $baseurl: URL prefix for results
• @files: File patterns to include
• @exclude: Directories to skip

If no results are being found, check these common issues:

1. Verify $basedir path: Ensure it's the correct absolute path
2. Check file patterns: Confirm @files matches your file extensions
3. Permissions: Script must be able to read the directories
4. Case sensitivity: Search may be case-sensitive by default
5. Excluded directories: Check @exclude isn't blocking your content

To enable case-insensitive search:

$case_sensitive = 0;
