HtmlSearch Help: Details Panel

This screen is only available in the Pro edition. Depending on your particular configuration, this screen may not be available.

The Details Panel allows you to view how the search performs. It shows these lists:

• Pages skipped: these are all the pages that could be accessed but that were skipped because of the settings specified in the Applet parameters. The reason for skipping the page is indicated in the list box.

• Errors: these are all the pages that could not be accessed. The cause of the error is indicated in the list box. The most common errors are due to invalid URLs or authorization denials because of browser security settings or CLASSPATH setting. You may also see errors if a page cannot be reached. When HtmlSearch cannot reach a page, it may assume that it is a directory, and it will try to search for a file 'index.html' or 'index.htm' in that directory; this will obviously provoke another error message if the URL was an invalid one to start with.

The Always show last line checkbox directs the program to always show the last page listed in the list box, thus scrolling automatically as the search progresses. If you uncheck this checkbox, pages are added to the list box as the search progresses, but the display stays where you set it.

For each of the pages shown in these lists, you can use the Display or Page Info or buttons as described in the Results Panel.
