Many database search engines will happily display all results on the same page, whether there are 8 or desktop 8,000. Text search engines have a mechanism for dividing up the results and providing navigation from the first page enclosure to following pages (and desktop and enclosure back). Text search engines sort by relevance, as determined by the number and location of matched words in the result page or record. Database search functions sort by size, or price, or date, or the order in which the items were entered in the database! Many text search engines can desktop sort results by date as enclosure an option, and a few of them can sort by price, size, geographic location, desktop etc.

To add a text search engine to a database-generated site, the engine can connect to the database enclosure directly, using SQL, ODBC or JDBC. Or it may crawl the pages generated, viewing desktop the pages as a browser would, enclosure in which case it needs a listing of the pages or a site map with links to follow. The indexer should be set to ignore navigation and other non-product data, and update frequently, preferably with a list of new URLs rather than a full crawl. There''s a paradox: the more information your site has, the more useful it is -- and the harder to navigate! No matter how well you design your site navigation elements, visitors will need other desktop ways enclosure to find what they''re looking for.
