Explanation of Site Search Terms

Pages Indexed: The maximum number of pages our spider will retrieve from your site and build a searchable index around.
Index Frequency / Auto-Refresh Rate: Depending on the package selected, determines the interval at which our spider automatically revisits your site to update its index. 'On Demand' will cause our spider to visit your site only when requested via the login area.
Index on Demand: When your site's content changes between scheduled Indexes (see Index Frequency), you can login and request an Index of your new content immediately. The number of 'On Demand' requests available depends on the package selected.
Sitemap: A hypertext based outline of your site that provides complete navigation of the site from a single page.
Spider / Index: The automated process of sending our 'bot' to your site, retrieving the HTML, and building a searchable index of its content. Also known as 'indexing' your site.
Secure Username: You may provide a Username for FusionBot to login to restricted areas of your site, if you would like this content included in your index.
Secure Password: You may provide a Password for FusionBot to login to restricted areas of your site, if you would like this content included in your index.
Robots META Tag Support: Our spider respects META Tag settings within your site to know which pages you wish to include and/or exclude from your index.
Indexing Speed: Control the rate at which our spider downloads pages within your site. This is useful for those with high traffic sites or limited bandwidth. A lower speed will put less strain on your server by lengthening the time between page requests by the FusionBot spider.

Please be aware that selecting 'Medium', or 'Slow' will cause a significant delay in the time it takes to index your site. As such, if your site has numerous pages, it may take up to 2 hours to complete the building of your index and have the email notification sent to you confirming completion.

Fast ==> 0 seconds between page requests
Medium ==> 3 seconds between page requests
Slow ==> 6 seconds between page requests
Vlink: Short for 'Visited Link'. The customization wizard allows you to control the font color for previously visited hyperlinks on the search results page.
Alink: Short for 'Active Link'. The customization wizard allows you to control the font color for the currently selected hyperlink on the search results page.
