Site Search
Adding a search mechanism to your site allows visitors to find exactly what they want in
no time at all.
FrontPage search function:
You can create a search form to let visitors search your site for specific words or
phrases. If the default search form doesn't fit your needs, you can change the button
labels and shorten or widen the one-line text box.
First, choose File, New, Page. In the New dialog box, find Search Page on the General tab.
Once you've located it, select it and click OK. A whole new page will open on your
FrontPage screen. This is your new, handy-dandy search page. You'll notice some innocuous
language about this being a search page that you can use to find particular words and
phrases. Then there's the little box where visitors can do their searching. Below that is
a quick cheat sheet on how to combine words to create more effective searches. If the page
works for you as is, go for it. If you don't like the way some of the initial language is
phrased, change it.

Stats
- Hits - A hit is any response from the server
on behalf of a request sent from a browser. This includes any response from the server,
not only text files or documents. If, for example, a HTML page has two images embedded,
the server generates three hits if this page is requested: one hit for the HTML page
itself and two hits for the two inline images.
- Visits - the (approximate) number of actual
individual visitors. This number tries to estimate how many people stopped by your
site. But it does not give you any information about how long they stayed or how
many pages they looked at.
- Page Views - Page views are all files which either
have a text file suffix (.html, .text) or which are directory index files.
This number allows to estimate the number of "real" documents transmitted by
your server. If defined correctly, the analyzer rates text files (documents) as page
views. Those page views do not include images, CGI scripts, Java applets or any other HTML
objects except all files ending with one of the pre-defined page view suffixes, such as .html
or .text
