this question has been asked in 2010 (Does joomla have search for content?), but without success. Any update since?
I'm trying to find a search feature that searches all contents,
including articles, links, posts, etc. in Joomla. Where is it located?
I am talking about search feature in administration page, not home
page. I want to be able to figure out where the content is coming from
and its location.
ps: the "smart search content" plugin included in the core of joomla is very limited in backend: it only search in articles title, and worst, it skips some articles in front-end yet plugin enable, indexer done, all publish inside indexer.
backup solution :
set a "smart search module" in the frontend (for register user so it won't bother) it will retrieve any content field from the DB

I have already hosted my website, and I want to search it from Google.
How can I search?
Is there any need to upload my website to Google?
Yes, at least webmaster submission. Also, read more about the webmaster tool.
Add the proper search term to your searched words:
site:www.your-website.com searchword
You can use Google Webmaster tools for this purpose. Add your website there and you can get very valuable information about the state of your website on Google.
For faster inclusion of all pages of your website on Google database, you can create a sitemap.xml file (if you do not know how you can create it online here) and add it to Google webmaster tools.
You also can see on the Google page, placing the command "site:" before the url of your website in the search field, to view which pages are already indexed.
I am currently involved in project where we are using Liferay (6.1 GA2).
It seems that Liferay search results provide links to Web Content Fragments instead of to the pages containing them.
Have any of you gone through this issue? Do you know how to solve it?
Thanks a lot pals.
Best, Alberto
You can have a lot more content in the backend than actually displayed on any page. Further, you can display any article on multiple pages at once.
A way to work around this is to specify in the "Web Content Search" portlet that you're only interested in content that is actually published. However, this does not solve your second problem: The content can still be published on many different pages.
Every content can have a "Display Page" - the setup of such a display page is well explained in the UI (see the Web Content Editor) so that you'll actually see a proper page with the search results.
If you actually want to search for pages only instead of content (you might miss out on some metadata), I'd recommend to go with some spider solution that spiders your website, indexes the pages independent of their construction elements (articles) and search that external index.
i have a site that im developing and i want to put there content and links (some of them are my private home links and stuff) drupal search is good, but its not accurate and also its shows me only things from my site... i want to search all include my website, but dont let google to public it world wide... is taht possible?
It's not possible to have google index your site without making it accessable to the web. However you can set up a local solr server and user the Apache Solr Search Integration Module to index your site, which is much better than the normal drupal search. That would only provide search for your site still. I'm not sure what you mean by "only shows me things from my site."
If you are not able to host a solr server an alternative is Acquia's hosted solr search. if the pricing is right for you it's a quick and easy way to get solr search on your site.

I am talking about search feature in administration page, not home page. I want to be able to figure out where the content is coming from and its location.
I haven't seen any search capabilities directly in the administration console for Joomla.
The standard search extension you add to the actual site should give you this information though.
I am using Microsoft SharePoint Search (MOSS) to search all pages on a website.
My problem is that when you search for a word that appears in the header, footer, menu or tag cloud section of the website, that word will appear on every page, so the search server will bring you a list of results for that search term: every page on the website.
Ideally I want to tell the search server to ignore certain HTML sections in its search index.
This website seems to describe my problem, and a guy says "why not hide those sections of your website if the User Agent is the search server.
The problem with that approach is that most of the sections I hide contain links to other pages (menu's and tag clouds) and so the crawler will hit a dead end and won't crawl very far.
Anyone got any suggestions on how to solve this problem?
I'm not sure if i'm reading this correctly. You DON'T want Search to include parts of your site in the index, but you DO want it to go into that section and follow any links in it?
I think the best way is to indeed exclude those section based on user agent (i.e. add them to a usercontrol and if the user agent is MS Search you don't render the section).
Seeing as these sections would be the same on every page, it's okay to exclude them when the search crawler comes by.
Just create ONE page (i.e. a sitemap :-D). that does include all the links a normal user would see in the footer / header / etc. The crawler could then use that page to follow links deeper into your site. This would be a performance boost as well, seeing as the crawler only encounters the links once instead of on every page.
