Search with HTDIG

The application of HTDIG as search engine has advantages primarily with flexibility and performance. HTDIG is called by the search form of a ZMS site and gives back result pages with consistent navigation.

Solution: The integration is managed via a CGI call in the search form (e.g. /cgi-bin/htsearch) and the maintenance of the corresponding result templates in ZMS. In the text stream the needed pseudo-variables for HTSEARCH are used to insert results in form of simple text sections.
