baseURL localhost livedomain.com

Hi,

We have a complex CMS system and so we have to index the site using the spider mode. However due to the size of the site it is quicker for us to index our local development copy at http://localhost

I know you can edit the baseURL by clicking more -> edit to change to the live domain. Thus i have

Spider URL = http://localhost/
Base URL = http://www.livedomain.com/;http://localhost

The local copy and live copy are identical except for the URL.

However the results output from the search still use the http://localhost and so the search won't work when uploaded to the live site http://www.livedomain.com

When i set the BaseURL to just http://www.livedomain.com/ then no content gets indexed

So how do i achieve the above, spider a site at URL http://localhost/ but have a different baseURL

Kindest Regards

Solved it

I figured it out.

If you click on "Configure" then click "Indexing Options" there is a "rewrite links" section simply fill out the box.

Thus based on my example

Find in URL = http://localhost/
Replace with = http://www.livedomain.com/

Also you simply leave the BaseURL as the spiderURL i.e http://localhost

Zoomsearch is cool!!!

Glad to hear you've worked it out. Yes, that's a perfect example for when the "Rewrite links" option can be of help.
