Make a directory called advsearch and change into it.
Change your upload method to ASCII and upload the following files, search.cgi, config.cgi, template.htm
CHMOD search.cgi to 755
Your files should now look something like this.
/cgi-bin/advsearch/ search.cgi

Before customizing we are going to do a quick search to see if the script worked.
In your browser type http://yousite.com/cgi-bin/advsearch/search.cgi?q=contact
Did the script work properly?
Step 4 - Controlling
the way the script works via config.cgi
You can modify the following variables
#Types of
files to display
@types = (".htm",".html",".shtml");
#Ignore
Directories in the search
@ignoredirectory = ("/admin","/cgi-bin");
#Number
of search results to show
$maxshow = 50;
Step 5 - Controlling the output
This is the easiest part, just open the file called template.htm in your favorite html editor and edit it. Only make sure that the variable $output$ is not removed. Do not use Server Side Include in template.htm
