iSearch PHP Site Search Engine - Quick Installation

Unzip the zip file to your hard disc. The following files should be included:

isearch2/admin	iSearch2 Configuration and Administation
isearch2/help	Help files
isearch2/inc	Included files
isearch2/inc/header.inc.php	File included before iSearch results are displayed.
isearch2/inc/footer.inc.php	File included after iSearch results are displayed.
isearch2/lang	Language files.
isearch2/style	Style files.
isearch2/index.php	Main search page.
isearch2/sitemap.php	Displays site map.
isearch2/stats.php	Displays search statistics.
isearch2/viewcache.php	Displays the contents of the page cache.

Open the isearch2/inc/config.inc.php file in a text editor and change the variables as required for your installation. You must edit the "BASIC CONFIGURATION OPTIONS" section, but you can probably ignore the "ADVANCED CONFIGURATION OPTIONS". You'll need to have your MySQL database details to hand for this.
Upload all the files to a directory called isearch2 in the root directory of your site.
Fire up your web browser and browse to http://www.yoursite.com/isearch2/admin. Login using the admin password stored in the isearch2/inc/config.inc.php file.
Enter your email address and homepage URL. The rest of the configuration options can be left as they are for now.
Click the "Spider" button and wait until your site has been spidered.
Once you have configured iSearch and spidered your site, browse to http://www.yoursite.com/isearch2 and try it out.
