Hello,

I am using cmsBuilder and the website membership plugin to build an online information portal that users need to login to access.

I require a search function as there will be a lot of information and I was hoping to use Google Custom Search Engine. However it turns out that as the information is stored in a password protected login area, Google can not index the files. There one click free option is also not viable.

Can someone please recommend a search engine script that I could use to crawl, index and search password protected web pages and file uploads (DOC, XLS, PDF)?

Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated.

Regards,

Greg

Hi Greg,

I don't have any suggestions for a search engine script but if the files will be uploaded through CMS Builder, we have an older unpolished plugin that copies text from some file types into a field which could then be searchable.

If you are interested in checking this out as a possible option, email Dave at dave@interactivetools.com with the details and we can see what we can do.

Thanks!

Hi Damon,

Thanks for the message. I will get in touch with Dave as this plugin sounds like it could be a useful starting point.
