Linking pages together question
I know how to create links, that's not the question...how do I link my pages together so that when I add a search feature it will search all my pages. I am trying to use FreeFind which spiders your website for searching all keywords but it will only find one page because all of the other pages reside on different urls and are only linked together by html links one to another.
Hope you understand what I am asking.

The FreeFind search will only display pages from one URL - why are your pages all on different domains?

My pages are not on different domains....they each have a unique/different url....ie http....yahoo.....pageone.html http....yahoo...pagetwo.html etc, then I link them together by html on the page....if you are on page one, you click on the button to go to page two which is not the same url as page one ( noted above )....I'm asking if there is a way that I am not aware of if all your pages are put together so that when something searches your entire website it will search all your pages, not just the home page.

Each page should be listed on everypage, is called navigation.
Like at the very top of this page, next to the search there is control panel, help, rules, members ... You need to have a fixed navigation on everypage, I have never used freefind but if it follows links then it should be fine.
Really you shouldn't need a program to tell you your own keywords, your keywords are descriptive words for you content.
Another way is a sitemap, a sitemap is just a page linked off every other page that includes or rather lists links to every page of your site

Feel very stupid, but I had not put the needed script on the home page that tells FreeFind to scan the links that it finds on it. As long as the other pages have links to it on that page it will scan all of the other pages.

Don't feel stupid, we all make mistakes. Mistakes means we're learning and often not to make the same again
