Hello Fellow Rooters and CCs:
Union Co., GAGenWeb now has a search engine so you can search the entire
website in just one click!!! Hope this helps....as our website has
grown by leaps and bounds over the past few years thanks to our many
volunteers.
This search engine will:
1. search only what is keyed into the box...so you will need to do
separate searches for the various spellings of your surname until I can
build the 'similar words' page at the search engine's website.
2. search only the pages that reside at our rootsweb website, i.e.
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaunion/
so, you'll need to search our email list, archives, queries, and
genconnect boards separately. It will not include some of the civil war
rosters as they reside on other folks' websites.
3. automatically update only once a week; but I'll try to remember to
re-index our search engine when I load a 'new' webpage...
To my fellow CCs...as you know RootsWeb's search engine requests are on
hold....so if you want a search engine for your county website, you'll
need to find one elsewhere. Union Co. is using:
http://mysearch.looksmart.com/
It's pretty easy to set up and doesn't take very long to do.... and this
was my first stab at this kinda of stuff.
I have also spoken with Pam Reid who maintains the county coordinator
volunteer webpages at our USGenWeb site about adding a section on search
engines to help all of CCs out there. She's working on it now....maybe
it would be a good idea for the GAGenWeb Council to add something to the
GA CC's guidelines...just a thought..
HAPPY HUNTING...
