NOTES:
(1) Webmaster can configure FrontLook Site Search engine to optionally exclude Shared Borders, Selected DWT editable regions, DWT non editable regions, Page Includes, Any HTML enclosed by special tags, Navigation and Link Bars and "Keywords" meta tag. For example, if the webmaster has setup the search engine to exclude text in the shared borders of the web and the search engine is searching a shared border page, the text in the shared border will be excluded. Without this feature, if the user searches for a term that happens to be in the shared border, every shared border page in the web would be returned as a result.

(2) FrontLook Site Search Engine allows the developer to control the font and table styles of the results page via external or embedded style sheets.

(3) Quick search forms are mini-forms that allow the visitor to enter a search term and then proceed to the search page to see the results of the search.

(4) To control the pages in the search, pages must be removed from the Index Server list by the hoster.

(5) Search areas are sets of pages with a common theme, for example all the pages dealing with support issues might be placed in the "Support" search area.
