  • Error when user search for google

    Hi,
    There always is an error when user search for Google! What it comes up when users click on the results, is "...google.ca/zoom?highlight...." Something like this.

    Is there anyway that this can be fixed?
    Kind regards,

    Sorry, your description doesn't make any sense.

    Can you quote the exact error, or perhaps provide a screenshot (better yet a URL to the search page), rather than saying "something like this".

    I went to hinsmart.com but the search function there is returning an Internal Server Error, which indicates you haven't configured it properly.

    See the FAQ:
    Q. I get a "500 Internal Server Error" message when running the CGI.

      Re:::

      Please try to do the search again. Type in Google, and click on the google link. You will find it goes to page not found error.

        You have turned on the "Jump to match and highlight within document" feature but ignored the instructions for this setting.

        This feature is under "Configure"->"Results Layout" in the Indexer. When you click on it, it tells you that:

        "This option requires an additional JavaScript file to be included on each page of your site... Please click on Help for more information and further instructions".

        If you then click on "Help", you will find a thorough explanation of what this does.

        You can also find an explanation on this page:
        http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/support/highlighting.html

        Basically, it makes no sense to use this feature when you are indexing external websites that you have no control over.

        In your case, you indexed Google. This parameter will then tell Google what keyword to highlight if they had the highlight script added to their page. As you can imagine, it's pretty unlikely they'd have the same script to handle this parameter.

        So the short answer is, turn off this feature if you are indexing external websites.
