NetEngine Main Features Details
These are just a few of the main features only of the search engine
software. The software has hundreds of features which can not be listed
here.
|
SQL database driven 100% |
SQL databases are the most powerful database systems
until this moment that can handle several Gig bytes of information safely
with the highest search speed and information retrieval. Based on this
Mewsoft search engine built with all its databases using SQL (mySQL).
This includes all the categories, mailing lists, accounts, users
information, websites information, ratings, statistics and any data used
by the software. This makes the software unlimited in its capacity and
speed which puts the software in race with the major big search engine now
on the net. |
|
Unlimited Nested Categories |
The software has built in category manager in the admin
center which allows to create unlimited number of categories and
subcategories levels. Since the categories are stored also in SQL database
then its is unlimited practically. Each category and subcategory can be
configured separately for generating Meta Tags (title, description,
keywords), using templates, sort order, display under its parent category
as a teaser, html customizations, and more.
|
|
Static and Dynamic Live Output |
Mewsoft search engine is actually two search engine
from its infrastructure. All major known search engines are either free
which uses static output like Yahoo.com or pay per click which generates
dynamic output in real time like overture.com. Mewsoft search engine
assembles these two types of search engines. This means that Mewsoft
Engine can be used to build a directory or search engine with dynamic
output which works as pay per click engine, or build a directory or search
engine with static html pages.
Which one to use Dynamic Live Output or Static
HTML pages?
The answer is what you want to use the search engine
for? and how you want to generate revenue from your website or your search
engine.
Dynamic Output:
If you plan to build your search engine to be pay per
click or pay per impressions then you have to use dynamic live output. In
this mode the software will positions websites depending on their bids and
will sort search results based on the search terms bids.
Static Output:
If you plan to build traditional directory or search
engine or static website with static html pages that updated only when you
want, then you run the engine in static mode. In static mode the html
pages will update only every time you run the build directory from the
admin center or you can automate it with crontab or similar programs on
your system. |
|
Full accounting system |
Since the software was build to make revenue from
submissions and surfers, then it was necessary to include an advanced,
user and admin friendly account manager system. For the user the account
manager interface allows full control over his listings and bids and
money. Users can submits listings, new search terms, change bids, delete
or update current listings, update profiles, view or download summary or
full detailed statistics report for their clicks and account activity and
more. For the admin the accounting system allows full control over users
accounts, deposits, debits, review, disable, enable, update or
remove.
|
|
Keywords and Position Bidding |
Modeled after the very popular "Goto.com"
system with more power and features and flexibility. When the admin
require that users must open accounts before submitting lists to the
search engine, they open account and from inside this account manager they
can add listings, search terms related to their listings. From the account
manager they can bid on search terms and determine their placements in
search results and also they can bid on their category listings position.
Listings with the highest bid on the current search terms or category will
be listed first and thereafter in order of the bid amount. The charge
method is determined by the admin, either charge "Pay Per Click"
where only the system will charge the bid value when the link or listing
is clicked by a surfer and this is the well know system now for paid
search engine, the second method of charging is "Pay Per
Impression" which will charge the users every time their listings is
displayed for the surfer and this system is not efficient since the user
listings could be displayed thousands of times per day with no clicks. The
pay per click system is the best for both the advertiser or listings owner
and the search engine owner. For the listings owner it is very cost
effective since he pays only for actual clicks to his website, for the
search engine owner it will encourage the users or websites owners to bid
high and always try to be in the top listings whatever the bid reaches
since they only pay for actual clicks and not impressions, this will make
the competition on the top positions always which led to high revenue
How this system works?
A webmaster or listings owners with a listing in your search engine
will open an account and make a deposits into it and you determine the
minimum deposit and minimum bid. Once a deposit has been made, the
webmaster from his account manager will place bids on certain search terms
or categories positions. These bids represent the amount of money the
webmaster is willing to pay you each time someone clicks on their listing.
When a listing is clicked on, his balance will be deducted the bid amount
. Once the webmaster's account reaches 0.00, all account bids will be
disabled, and the listing returns to its normal position in the search
results until he make another deposit and so on.
For example, assume you set your minimum deposit to $50.00. If 100
webmasters decide to open accounts, and make the initial deposit, you've
just made $5000.00. As the webmasters who've made deposits begin to see
themselves near the top of search results, and start getting more and more
traffic from you, they'll make another deposits and increase their bids
trying to be on the top of search results and category position and Word
gets out and another 100 more webmasters sign up and the real business
continues, think if you have thousands of real business websites who can
spent thousands of dollars per day to get traffic from you. |
|
Fully integrated banner server |
The search engine is integrated with full banner
manager software SQL database driven same as the engine itself to handle
millions of impressions per day for heavy traffic sites. The banner server
allow to create and manage unlimited accounts, campaigns and banner zones
or groups or locations on your templates. The banner also can be used
directly on your other sites and your static or dynamic pages either with
direct call or with SSI. All banner call are done from the same main
banner program for all zones so you do not need to copy scripts or
configure anything. The banner also has a cash buster to avoid browsers to
cash banners images. The banner server also has a full client report area
so all your banner advertisers will have a login to the stats area to
check their campaigns stats in different format either daily or hourly
report for every individual campaign.

allows you to create unlimited number of languages and translate any
language online or on your local pc in just a minutes. The software by
default comes with the language English, any additional languages you need
just create it from the language manager and translate the text in

to automatically accept all new submissions and it will go directly to the
database and live for searching and browsing. If you are concerned about
the quality of your directory or search engine then you must review, edit
and approve all new submissions which includes new listings and search

|
HTML Template based |
One of the most powerful features of this software is
its using for pure html templates for every single byte generated by the
software. This means there is no limit on the customizations the same as
you edit normal html pages. In addition to listing templates, you can
define templates for category listings, and featured sites. Not only
templates for the pages generated by the software but also for every form,
hyperlinks, cgi generated output, listings, navigations, and everything
the program prints to the output is customizable. You can define an
unlimited number of listing templates and assign a different template for
each listing in the search engine to use.
|
|
Custom functions |
The software has built in script editor in the admin
center which allow you to write your own Perl and JS functions and inert
the output to the templates with the rest of the program output. Custom
functions can use the current program templates as well as you can define
new templates to be used. This means you can build new functions with its
own templates.
|
|
External programs integration |
Not only you can build your own custom Perl functions
but also you can directly integrate your current scripts and programs with
the software and insert the programs output in the templates directly.
There are many built in classes to run SSI functions from inside the
templates.
|
|
Unlimited mailing lists |
SQL based mailing lists unlimited in its capacity for
each list. The admin center "Mail manager" has full utilities to
manage unlimited number of mailing lists and mass email:
|
|
Easy setup wizard |
The software is very easy to install and configure even
for just beginners. No need to be programmer or professional to run
or manage the software on your server, all you need is the general
internet stuff, like how to use any ftp program to transfer files, how to
change files permissions, very little html to customize the templates or
links to your look and feel. Just transfer the files to your server,
change permissions and you are done with the installation. The software
has built in setup and configuration wizard that will check and create
directories, permissions, SQL tables and more.
|
|
Intelligence upgrade system |
The software has built in very smart upgrade system.
The upgrade system will automatically connect to our server, transfers the
files you want to upgrade to your server, changes permissions, create
directories if needed, configure cgi files and do anything needed. This
means once the software installed the first time, all the upgrade will be
automatically without reinstalling or loosing any data from your current
database system, all you need to upgrade at any time online for free is a
license number you get from Mewsoft when you purchase the software, every
customer has a unique license number tied to its licensed domain name.
|
|
Very customizable |
The first thing you must search in any software is how
far is it customizable. Whatever its function if it is not 100%
customizable then it looses at least 80% of its value. Mewsoft search
engine software like all Mewsoft products is very customizable. There is
not single byte that is not customizable. Lets explain this shortly
The software uses html templates for the body of
the pages that generated. Inside these html templates are the output of
the cgi programs and the text itself.
Now the software is multi-lingual, which means the same
text should be in different languages and this is done by inserting
language variables inside the templates between "<<" and
">>", for example a field form that has text label
"Please enter your first name" this has assigned a variable name
for example first_name, to insert this label in the template just
insert it like this <<first_name>>. When the surfer
selects specific language this variable will be translated to from the
language selected. This shows that you can move this language variable
anywhere inside your template. The value of the language variables itself
you change it from the language file, so you edit it to anything you want.
Second, the cgi programs output is inserted inside
these html templates in two methods. The first method is by using Plugins
between comments like this , this will draw an
input text box for the surfer to enter the website title. of course you
move this Plugin anywhere inside your templates. The second method is
using what we called it Classes in the form
, this will draw a search box and
its width is 40 characters, the search box form itself is customized and
has its own template, you can change the box with by changing the number
40 to anything. So basically everything the program prints out is
customizable and you have full control over the look and feel. You can use
any WYSWYG html editor like Frontpage 2000 or else to edit the templates.
The admin center has built in html template editor online. |
