  1. Instructions to set up AppleSearch.acgi as an action.
  2.  
  3. Step1 -    Use WebSTAR Admin to create an action.
  4.                             A.    Select "Actions..." from the "Configure" menu.
  5.                             B.    Enter the path to the AppleSearch cgi in the "application:" text field.
  6.                                         For example: ":AppleSearch.acgi" (without the quotes)
  7.                             C.    Enter the name of the action (I recommend ASEARCH)
  8.                             D.    Click on the "Add" button.
  9.                             E.    Click on the "Update" button.
  10.  
  11. Step2 -    Use WebSTAR Admin to add a suffix mapping entry.
  12.                             A.    Select "Suffix Mapping..." from the "Configure" menu.
  13.                             B.    Select the name of the action entered above from the 
  14.                                     popup menu labeled "Action:"
  15.                             C.    Type a suffix into the "File suffix:" text field.  
  16.                                     (I recommend ".srch" Make sure you include the period - no quotes)
  17.                             D.    You can leave the rest blank.
  18.                             E.    Click on the "Add" button.
  19.                             F.    Click on the "Update" button.
  20.  
  21. Step3 -    Change the URLs that access the AppleSearch cgi.
  22.                             A.    Any place where your pages link to the cgi you need to change the URL from
  23.                                         "AppleSearch.acgi$form" to "form.srch"
  24.                             B.    If you use the $sources method change "AppleSearch.acgi$sources" to
  25.                                         "sources.srch"
  26.  
  27. Note:    If you forget to change the URLs as described in Step3 the AppleSearch cgi will still work the old way.
  28.  
  29. Enjoy!
