FreeFind is now indexing web pages multiple times. For example, a search for Schaumburg produces hits like these: http://www.genealogy.net/reg/NSAC/SLP/researchers-m.html http://www.genealogy.net/gene/reg/NSAC/SLP/researchers-m.html http://www.genealogy.net/gene/gene/reg/NSAC/SLP/researchers-m.html http://www.genealogy.net/gene/gene/gene/reg/NSAC/SLP/researchers-m.html It looks to me like there is a circular link somewhere, perhaps /gene/gene is a link to /gene ? If so, we should get rid of it. As a result, FreeFind is not indexing our whole site any more. Too many pages. :-( I think we should have one URL for each page, not several or even two. Only the second URL in the above list should be correct. -- =Jim Eggert EggertJ@crosswinds.net ---------- From: robot@freefind.com Date: Sat, 23 Dec 2000 16:36:22 -0500 (EST) To: eggertj@crosswinds.net Subject: Your site, http://www.genealogy.net/, has been sampled.

Thanks! _________________________________________________________ Site URL : http://www.genealogy.net/ E-mail : eggertj@crosswinds.net Site ID : 6441651 Pages Indexed : 11124 Your site has been sampled, not completely indexed. This is because the site or sites that you have included in the index are larger than our current size limitation.** (Note that size limitations are based on the total number of bytes of all indexed HTML pages, not the total number of pages.) When this occurs, FreeFind indexes the site(s) from "top" to "bottom", indexing pages closer to your home page first, then pages at lower levels next, until the limit is hit. This is often useful for creating topic oriented search engines for multiple sites. (e.g. A sailing site might have a "search the sailing universe" search engine that would sample the top pages from a hundred different sailing sites). But is not useful if you need *complete* search of a given site. ** If you have a serious web site and you would like to apply to have your limit raised, just contact our support staff at: support@freefind.com Be sure to include your account information such as your URL, site ID, e-mail, as well as an estimate of how many megabytes of HTML you have on your web site.
