In order to be able to search for content of a web site, a search engine like Sphider contains an indexation procedure. The indexer crawls all text content of the HTML based web site and stores the text content as individual keywords into a MySQL based database, combined with the keyword/link relationship. Sphider is able to index web sites on the Internet or localhost and, after entering any query into the search form, offers a list of results together with a text extract around the found keyword, as well as the URL at which the result was found.
<<< The content that i want to be search is in mysql database >>>
Sphider does not scan any databases and their content. Needs to be a HTML based web page.
<<< what should i put in url box for indexing? Is it localhost/localsitename >>>
Well, should be something like
http://localhost/path_to_your_site/index.html
