Best Search Stack?

Thanks Will, it is a genuine visible xml file so probably missing something on my part trying to reference it correctly. Was a quick bit of messing about, so will look at it properly later on.

@garth, I think we are looking for a similar solution, one that searches a RW site and also any TCMS blog posts too that will hopefully be a set and forget option. I’ll play around with RapidSearch Live and TCMS later on and let you know how I get on!

What would be cool is if one could read the sitemap list in the robots.txt file. Because you can have multiple blogs and each stores their own sitemap.xml in that blogs folder.

That’s true…I use multiple TCMS blogs on my websites…one blog powers an actual blog, but the other “blogs” actually power Team pages or Programs pages.

Yes 50 to 75 US-$ would be the price I am willing to pay.

That’s how sitemap index files work, they list other sitemap files.

I’m going to try makeing one based on the standard RW one, then add in the TCMS blogs after.

Have you looked at Live Search from 1 little designer? Worked fine for me: https://www.onelittledesigner.com/rapidweaver-stack/live-search/

I looked at Live Search… And emailed the developer about it, asking if the stack was able to index CMS content as well… But he hasn’t replied to me. Do you know if it works with Total CMS?

Tried a properly formatted sitemap index file, listing two sitemaps (general RW one and TCNS one) but unfortunately RapidSearch Live didn’t like the index file and found nothing.

When using the individual sitemap files Rapidsearch Live worked as expected with the standard sitemap but not the TCMS one. It looks like the TCMS one doesn’t quite follow the sitemap standard, so would be invisible to Rapid Search Live.

@manofdogz have you tried 1LD’s search stack with TCMS?

Couldn’t say I’m afraid.

@manofdogz,
Do you know if it will search any page that’s not in the “navigation”?

The product page says:

The Live Search RapidWeaver Stack will search the content from all of the pages in your navigation dynamically.

From that I wouldn’t think anything outside of the navigation wouldn’t be getting searched. Things like CMS’s, Poster stack or even the built in blog posts aren’t included in navigation.

You could well be right. I’m no longer using it as my client decided they didn’t really need search option. I may try it on a test site and see what happens - I have new project underway with Go CMS so that would be a way to test it.

I heard back from 1LD. They said that Live Search doesn’t search CMS content :frowning:

“This is unfortunately not supported at this moment in time, but I’ll be sure to let the developer know so we can consider it for the next update.”
