Identifier of the result container: enter the identifier of the webpage element where the results of the search should be shown. The container can be a label whose content will be formed by the search result. This setup feature is optional, and if you don't define it, DWBSearchWebsite will use the same form from which the searches are initiated, to show the results.
Number of results per page: allows to define the amount of search result entries that will be grouped in a single page. Highly recommended for situations where searches typically generate a large volume of results. Please use an integer number. This feature is optional, and if you leave it blank, DWBSearchWebsite will assume that this number is 10, thus ten search results per page.
Limit the search to folders: if you wish to limit the search to only a certain group of folders and not the whole website, you can select here the folders that should be available for searching. This is optional; if you don't define it, the whole website will be searchable.
Exclude folders from the search: if you wish to avoid that one or several folders get searched, you can select here the folders to be excluded from search. Optional; if left undefined, the entire website will be searched.
Allowed extensions: allows to define what type of files should be included in the search. Some website owners - depending on the nature of their websites - prefer not to allow search within a certain type of files, such as images, or files with server side scripts. By eliminating or entering new extensions to this list, you can either prohibit or allow search of a group of files, defined by their extension.
