First page search

I have made a small search engine, it's working pretty well on our corporate intranet. There is one thing i just dont get to make work:

On the home page (as defined in the web companion configuration) I want to have a search result (a random quotation from a FileMaker database, using -findany). How can I configure the companion to perform a search in the home page?

Thanks

Easy, your current home page should be blank and can process dummy request and display dummy result, as home page people will see.

You can do that with META refresh or JavaScript like at http://www.prnet.cz When you see that page, blank record was already created in log in database.

This time it is done with frames, but it is the same.

Anatoli's answer assumes you are using Custom Web Publishing.

Thanks Keith and Anatoli.

Of course, i am using custom web publishing. Actually, i'm using Anatoli's solution. The only problem is redirection pages are badly indexed by spyders. This is very bad for the indexation of the site.

Thanks again

Another method is to use "onload" in the <body> tag of the home page.

All the best.

RE: This is very bad for the indexation of the site.

All FM generated pages are bad for Index engines smile.gif" border="0 I've just posted in another thread:

I can think of just another way and that involves iFrame, which will cut off people with NN 4.x. You can design that refresh link to call iFrame, which will look like part of the main page.
