Searchlight Example #1             


A standard implementation of Searchlight on a page. This example searches the documentation you're currently reading, and its search results will open into this frame when clicked. A more ideal scenario would place Searchlight into a left frame and open its links into the main frame, or would employ a remote window as in Example #2.

Unlike Example #2, this example uses no Name parameters, and thus displays URLs in its search Results List. Because ShowShortURLs is set at 'yes', the URLs are truncated to filename only. Try searching for words or phrases you might expect to find in this documentation (or some that you wouldn't!) and experimenting with the checkbox options.

Below is the applet tag for this example:
