Search

• A general Search Script is set us as

     Search	/home/www/cgi-bin/search.script
  

• It is activated when a URI contains a "?" and no other scripts are matched in the Exec rules.

• The script is passed a wide set of environment variables, but the following are the most important:
  • QUERY_STRING: The path of the URI after the "?". The information is encoded. Use cgiparse to decode it!
  • PATH_INFO: The name of the document that is going to be searched.
  • PATH_TRANSLATED: The PATH_INFO but translated through the pass rules in the configuration file.
• Example: The URI

     http://server.domain.name/People/Index?Henrik+Frystyk
  

  results in the following enviromnent variables:
  • QUERY_STRING: Henrik+Frystyk
  • PATH_INFO: /People/Index
  • PATH_TRANSLATED: /home/www/People/Index

  if I have a Pass rule like

     Pass   /*	/home/www/*
