• Fixing broken scripts

All CGI scripts for a particular site are stored in the cgi-bin directory, unless specified otherwise. If you accidentally delete any files in the cgi-bin directory, you can recover them by going to the Web Options page and clicking the Restore to default link. Your existing files remain untouched, so you will not lose your changes. To get rid of undesirable changes in the script files, delete these files and then click the Restore to default link on the Web Options page. Also, use the Restore to default link to fix your temporary index page to default.
See the Contents of Your Home Directory chapter of this manual for more information on the files and catalogues not to be deleted.

To make it available to the Internet users, put a link to your mnoGoSearch page on your site's pages.
* Note: It will take some time to index your site pages and get your search working.

You can extend your mnoGoSearch capabilities (e.g.: set local charset) by editing file indexer.conf. To learn how to work with indexer.conf, refer to indexer.conf-dist which can be found in the /'account'/mnogosearch/'domain'/ directory.
* If you mishandle anything, you can always restore mnoGoSearch configuration to the default by clicking the Edit icon, but all your custom settings will be lost.
