Hi,

I have recently taken over my organizations website and need to clean up the search results by Zoom.

Example, when I search an old employee's name the search engine is brings up old copies of the staff webpage. When I click the link the correct page is displayed without the old employee's name list; which is expected.

My question is; how do I clear the outdated cache?

The webiste is PHP 4.x Zoom Version 5.

Thanks!

Travis

Sounds like the search index you are using is out of date. You need to build a new set of index files and replace your existing set.

You might also want to consider scheduling this indexing task (http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/support/scheduling.html) (e.g. once a week) in order that the index remains up to date.

The application is running on a hosted website. Any info on that senerio? Thanks! :)

It doesn't matter where it is hosted. I still think the index is out of date and needs updating.

I assume you have the Zoom software installed (in addition to the script on your site)?

If not, did you purchase the software? If you have a purchased key for V5, then you should download V5, or upgrade to V6 (http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/upgrade/upgrade.html).

You might then want to watch this video (http://www.wrensoft.com/videos/Zoom-Add-Search-Engine/index.html).

And read the Users Guide (http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/usersguide.html).
