1.Install the Zoom Search Engine package on your computer. (see Installation)
2.Determine which search script platform you should use. (see Which search script platform should I use?)
3.Index your website with the Zoom Search Engine Indexer application. (see Indexing your website)
4.Upload or copy the files in your output directory to your website or CD-ROM. (see What to do after indexing)
5.You should now have a functioning search page. You can customise the appearance of the search page. (see How do I customize the look of my search page?)
6.Advanced users can also optimise the effectiveness of their search results by examining the log file, adding key words on specific pages, and filtering out unwanted words, pages, or sections of pages. (see Advanced Options)
